In order to satisfy the urgent requirements for the overheating protection of induction motors, an approach that can be used to identify motor temperature has been proposed based on the rotor slots harmonic (RSH) in this paper. One method to accomplish this is to improve the calculation efficiency of the RSH by predicting the stator winding distribution harmonic order by analyzing the harmonics spectrum. Another approach is to increase the identification accuracy of the RSH by suppressing the influence of voltage flashes or current surges during temperature estimation based on model predictive control (MPC). First, an analytical expression of the stator inductance is extracted from a steady-state positive sequence motor equivalent circuit model developed from the rotor flux field orientation. Then a procedure that applies MPC for reducing the identification error of the rotor temperature caused by voltage sag or swell of the power system is given. Due to this work, the efficiency and accuracy of the RSH have been significantly improved and validated our experiments. This work can serves as a reference for the on-line temperature monitoring and overheating protection of an induction motor.

This paper presents data-driven thermal protection algorithm for preventing overheating of automotive sunroof motor. When a sunroof motor operates abnormally, its coil is overheated and it is failed. Besides, drivers and passengers are damaged. Hence, the sunroof motor observes its temperature and will be stoped when its temperature reach a predefined level. In order to implement low-cost thermal protection function, we drew a knowledge-based temperature increasing and decreasing curve from the result of experimental test. And then, we implemented data-driven thermal protection algorithm which prevents motor's On/Off operation according to motor operating voltage and motor speed. Finally, we implemented experimental test bed and evaluated its feasibility.

A low-cost electronic starter is developed to decrease ignition failure significantly through successive starting trial and to prevent overheating at the end of fluorescent lamp life. Moreover, it has an additional feature of being capable of ignition at the recovered lamp voltage without any circuit correction. The developed electronic starter is consisted of four parts - a half wave rectifier circuit, a timer circuit, a switching circuit and a protection circuit. The protection circuit made up of a transistor and capacitors utilizing capacitive characteristics, carries out successive starting trial and end-of-life protection. Lamp ignition is completed within 0.5 seconds with taking advantage of a high preheating current from the half-wave rectifier circuit. Nevertheless, its performance is proved to be very excellent through a standard switching endurance test.

Abstract - An electronic starter using MOSFET has been designed to take advantage of ideal preheating and starting features which can extend the lifetime of fluorescent lamps. The preheating circuit of the developed electronic starter is consisted of four parts - afull-wave rectifier circuit, an FET switching circuit a timer circuit for the gate switching, and a circuit for end-of-life protection. The circuit is analyzed by using PSpice simulation, and is improved to give an appropriate starting-time through control of R-C time constant of the timer circuit. And the circuit is also provided with an end-of-life protection feature, which utilizes the negative resistance characteristics of a thermistor that is thermally linked to FET through a heatsink. This also protects the FET from any overheating problems. From the results of simulation it is possible to obtain an appropriate value on the starting time for proper ignition and also it is verified that the limit for resistance of the thermistor is dependant on the value of resistance is the timer circuit

The superconducting magnets have a large inductance as well as high operating current. Therefore, mega-joule scale energy can be stored in the magnet. The energy stored in the magnet is sufficient to damage the magnet when a quench occurs. Quench heater and dump resistor can be used to protect the magnet. However, using quench heater to create quench resistors through heat transfer can be slower than instantly switching resistors. Also, electrical short, overheating and breakdown can occur due to quench heater. Moreover, the number of dump resistor should be limited to avoid large terminal voltage. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a quench protection method for extracting the energy stored in a magnet by charging and discharging energy through a capacitor switching without increasing resistance. The simulation results show that the proposed system has a faster current decay within the allowable voltage level.

하절기 줄어드는 온수부하는 태양열 집열기 과열의 주된 원인이다. 과열방지목적으로 공냉 또는 차단막이 사용되는데 이는 추가적인 기계적요소를 필요하게 되고 장기 운용 시 파손 등의 우려에 따라 그 신뢰도도 크게 저하된다. 지중열교환기는 지열을 열원으로 방열 또는 흡열을 진행하는데, 지열을 고 열원으로 하여 흡열을 목적으로 하는 연구가 대다수이며 지열원이 저열원으로 이용하는 방열에 대한 연구는 부족한 편이다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 태양열집열판의 과열방지를 목적으로 하는 지중열교환기의 가능성 및 그 성능에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 여름철 최대 $150^{\circ}C$이상의 고온을 유지하는 태양열집열판의 열을 방출하기 위하여 1.2m의 하부 깊이를 갖는 50m 나선형 지중열교환기를 설치하였고 이를 통해 순간 냉각이 가능한 것으로 확인되었으며, 태양열집열판의 여름철 과열에 의한 파손을 방지할 수 있었다. 그리고 다양한 변수에 대한 이론적인 계산을 통하여 0.33kg/s의 최저 순환유량만 유지해주면 지열 열교환기의 길이에 따른 방열효과에 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 판단할 수 있다. 또한 축열조와의 공동 사용시 냉각효과는 여름철 과열시 충분한 과열방지 제어가 가능한 것으로 조사되었다.

The multi channel of DDI which is the core part of the LCD-TV has been propelled. When multi channel in DDI is introduced, it brings a thermal problem because of the increased power. To solve the thermal problem of the DDI it needs to be investigated each at the package level and module level. It is important to extract the junction temperature(Tj) of DDI clearly from the system level. The objective of this research is to construct a compact model. The compact model is to reduce LCD module including DDI. When the compact model is used, it will be able to easily handle the boundary condition and accurately predict the temperature. Consequently, the temperature of DDI can be calculated easily at the system level. Through this research,we also proposed the cooling plan of DDI for a protection of overheating. The cooling plan was utilized in DDI design.

This paper was carried out to survey fire hazard and improvement at the drain pump in air-conditioners. Based on the results of analysis, the proposal of electrical accidents prevention and a construction improvement are as follows. A power connection of the drain pump has two types, an electrical outlet type and direct connection type at control board of air-conditioner. The electrical outlet types need a bulletin sign or education as malfunction of the drain pump include an additional accidents, current leakage and overflowing with water on the floor from breaker trip by exterior cause and breaker off by mistake of worker. On the other hand, the direct connection types prevent a power interruption as exterior cause, but it has some trouble, cut of ground cable and without protection device. Usually it doesn't work by electrician when air-conditioner and the drain pump power work. Therefore an education or countermeasures are recommended for not electrician. Generally malfunction of the drain pump causes accumulated materials into the tank. Even though the accumulated materials lead to an overheating and burning as failure of detector occur an idling, periodic inspection of the air-conditioner filter and the drain pump tank prevent the trouble.

전기철도차량에서 발생하는 고조파는 인접통신선에의 유도장애를 일으키고 철도신호장애의 원인이 될 뿐만 아니라 전원계통에 유입되는 경우에는 전력용 콘덴서의 과열을 유발시키고 주요장치의 계전기를 오동작 시킬 우려가 있다. 따라서 고속철도차량에서의 각 운전 모드별 고조파 실측을 하였으며 한국전력의 규제치를 상회함에 따라 최적대안으로 부하 측에 고조파 저감설비를 기존선 각 변전소(구로, 경산, 밀양)에 설치하였다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 고조파 저감 설비를 설치하기 전과 설치 후의 고조파 발생현황을 실제 측정하여 도표화하고 얼마만큼의 저감 효과가 있는지를 비교 검토하였다.

Induction motors connected with a three-phase AC system may malfunction due to reverse phase or open phase faults. Conventional overcurrent relays and overheating relays are used to prevent such accidents; however, their drawbacks include a low response speed and false operation. Therefore, in this study, a digital relay for the reverse-open phase was designed and fabricated. This relay can detect the reverse phase and open phase faults and send a trigger signal to the control circuit. The proposed relay was developed based on a microcontroller. The detection times of the reverse phase and open phase were verified as 320ms and 80ms, respectively. Compared with conventional relays that only protect the motor from one type of fault, the proposed relay can detect both, reverse phase and open phase faults. In addition, the fault detection, identification criterion, and trigger signal patterns can be modified by programming according to the requirements of users.
