When induction motor is driven with a load commutated inverter, the output part of the inverter must be capacitive. But, in order to be a good load commutation at the low speed range, very large capacitor or force commutated circuit must be used regarding the capacity of motor. This paper proposed the force commutated circuit for driving the motor in case of the installation of capacitor which can be capable of load commutation at the rating speed. The force commutated circuit is operated by the LC resonant circuit, auxiliary source and SCR, and also composed of the commutation circuit which control the interval of the inverse voltage across the inverter.

Recently, the AC motor which has a simple structure and needs less maintenance has become to be used frequently as a servomotor for position control in the automatic control field. This paper concerns with a method to improve the current and power waveforms of an AC motor, and the current waveforms and 3$\phi$ power waveforms are analyzed by FFT under verious running conditions. The system is composed of a digital bridge inverter, low pass LC filter, and 3$\phi$ AC motor. Through the computer simulations and experiments, it is confirmed that current waveforms and $\phi$ power waveforms con by improved by utilizing the high order low pass LC filter than that of lower order.

A determining method of the $\Gamma$ type eqivalent circuit parameters of induction motor driven by inverter source is proposed in this paper. The no-load test by rated frequency (60 Hz) and a blocked rotor test by 25% of rated frequency (l5Hz) are performed with inverter source, and the DC resistance of the stator winding is measured. To determine the more accurate parameters, four simultaneous equations obtained from equivalent circuit of the no-load test and blocked rotor test are solved by using initial values which are evaluated from simplified equivalent circuits. The induction motor performances are computed by using these parameters and compared with measured values of the tested motor. Then it is found that the compared results show good agreement between them.

Traction system of 2-motor driven electric vehicle(EV) is consisted of motor(IPMSM), inverter, and battery. In order to enhance dynamic characteristics of the system, such driving conditions as acceleration ability and load(current magnitude) should be considered in the vector control algorithm for the IPMSM. So, in this paper, the most suitable structure of vector control algorithm for the EV is considered. Conformity had been verified through experimental results.

This paper presents an efficient analysis method using time-stepping finite element method for electric machines driven by pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter. In the method, the value of time-step is changed according to the PWM logic of inverter, and the calculation time can be reduced while maintaining analysis accuracy. Using the method, the dynamic characteristics of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) driven by PWM inverter are analyzed.

The double excited induction motor has two sets of three-phase system : One is connected to the ac source to take care of energy convertion, and the other is to the inverter controlable frequency and/or magnitude of voltage, both of the induction mode and the synchronous mode are possible in double excitation motor, and the proposed double excitation motor can be driven as a synchronous motor by the extra three-phase input. At the synchronous mode the efficiency is improved so higher than that at induction mode or induction motor. The rating of the inverter used for speed control can be reduced upto one-fifth of that for conventional induction motor. Also the cost and maintenance fee of double excitation induction motor can be reduced compared to any other motors.

An inverter-driven induction motor is used as the traction motor for a high speed drive system that required safty, reliability and performance and so on. rotor bar and end ring of the traction motor are the electrical equipments which form the conductive close loop and then induce current by interaction wi th the current of stator. the materials selection of rotor bar and end ring are seriously considered in the aspects of electrical and mechanical specification and Motor slip relation to inverter. Particularly motor slip guarantee the safty and reliability of induction motor. this paper show the material selection and the determining of slip in the design of traction motor for high speed train by analyzing the specifications of material being used currently.

In-wheel motor system gets the driving force from direct-driven motor in the wheel of electric vehicle. It is known as good system for vehicles, from an efficiency, packaging, handling and safety. This paper describes motor and inverter technologies, system configuration and control algorithms for in-wheel type electric vehicle. It is necessary to control on an interrelation perspective because this system drives two motors at same time. In system design, IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) including a wide operating range and high-speed rpm is used and flux weakening control is performed in constant power range. Under the torque command from the host controller, auto control box, inverter's output torque is calculated with using torque estimation technique and applied to actual vehicle driving system. It is verified that the configuration and the algorithm are suitable for the in-wheel motor system.

This study describes the influence of the mutual inductance between the adjacent phase windings of variable reluctance motor[VRM] and presents a new type of inverter for reduction of such influence. In this inverter topology, though an additional power switch is used as compared with the conventional C-dump inverter circuit, unwanted negative torque produced by the mutual inductance is remarkably reduced. Hence, the circuits results in increase of the average torque and contributes to the improvement of overall drive efficiency. Theoretical prediction is verified by experimental results obtained with the integration of presented inverter and prototype 6/4 VRM.

This paper presents the acoustic noise and mechanical vibration reduction of a coreless brushless DC motor with an air dynamic bearing used in a digital lightening processor. The coreless brushless DC motor does not have a stator yoke or stator slot to remove the unbalanced force caused by the interaction between the stator yoke and the rotor magnet. An unbalanced force makes slotless brushless DC motors vibrate and mechanically noisy, and the attractive force between the magnet and the stator yoke increases power consumption. Also, when a coreless brushless DC motor is driven by a $120^{\circ}$ conduction type inverter, high frequency acoustic noise occurs because of the peak components of the phase currents caused by small phase inductance and large phase resistance. In this paper, a core-less brushless DC motor with an air dynamic bearing to remove mechanical vibration and to reduce power consumption is applied to a digital lightening processor. A $180^{\circ}$ conduction type inverter drives it to reduce high frequency acoustic noise. The applied methods are simulated and tested using a manufactured prototype motor with an air dynamic bearing. The experimental results show that a coreless brushless DC motor has characteristics of low power consumption, low mechanical vibration, and low high frequency acoustic noise.
