Single phase induction motor(SPIM) is used widely because it is driven by single phase source. However, the efficiency of the motor is not good due to saturation of magnetic material. To analyze the motor accurately, the magnetic saturation characteristics should be considered in analysis of equivalent circuit. In this paper, lumped parameter of circuit are derived from multi phase induction motor using method of symmetrical coordinates. Also, we presents a method for the equivalent circuit analysis of SPIM using magnetic saturation rate. The magnetic nonlinearity is considered deriving magnetizing reactance from voltage-current saturation curve. As a results, current characteristic, torque, output and efficiency are shown through analysis of equivalent circuit. A simulation results of SPIM will be used to improve the characteristics and efficiency of motor.

In this paper, an algorithm to compensate the distorted signals due to Current Transformer(CT) saturation is suggested, First, DWT which can be easily realized by filter banks in real-time applications is used to detect a start point and an end point of the saturation. Secondly, For enough Datas those need to use the least-square curve fitting method, the distorted current signal is compensated by the AR(autoregressive) model using the data during the previous healthy section until pick point of Saturation. Thirdly, the least-square curve fitting method is used to restore the distorted section of the secondary current. Finaly, this algorithm had a Hadware test using DSP board(TMS320C32) with Doble test device. DWT has superior detection accuracy and the proposed compensation algorithm which shows very stable features under various levels of remanent flux in the CT core is also satisfactory. And this algorithm is more correct than a previous algorithm which is only using the LSQ fitting method. Also it can be used as a MU involving the compensation function that acquires the second data from CT and PT.

This paper presents performance analysis on a low pass filter of a CT saturation detecting algorithm using difference. At the instants of beginning/end of saturation, the shapes of the secondary current are changed significantly though secondary currents are continuous. At the instants, the second-order or third-order difference of the secondary current has big values because of discontinuity of the first order difference. Thus, the third difference of the current is used to detect the beginning/end of CT saturation. An antialiasing low pass filter removes high frequency components and causes phase lag. A CT saturation detecting algorithm using difference of CT secondary currents is affected by the low pass filter. The algorithm is tested with cutoff frequencies of the filter for the two sampling rates of 64[S/C] and 32 [S/C]. The results of various test cases indicate satisfactory performance of the algorithm.

This paper presents a synchronous reluctance motor drive for maximum torque to current (MTC) considering magnetic saturation. Measured d-axis and q-axis inductances are used to obtain current angle vs. maximum torque curve using torque equation. Maximum torque to current control is achieved by the current angle and stator current for maximum torque from the current angle vs. maximum torque curve at a given torque reference.

Due to the fault signal containing high and/or slowly decaying dc off-set component, saturation of current transformers cause errors in reproducing secondary current and therefore, secondary current is distorted, which cause relay to maloperate. In this paper, a new method which determines whether current transfomer is saturated is proposed. By designing digital filter of current transfomer, although secondary is distorted, exact secondary current can be reproduced.

Distance relays need accurate current and voltage for determining the trip ignition. Therefore we must analyze nonlinear phenomena which cause distortion in signals first of all. This paper presents the effect of some distortion(arcing fault and current transformer saturation) in power system. The saturation of a current transformer distorts input current of a distance relay and arcing faults make current and voltage to be changed. This paper describes modeling methods of a current transformer and arcing faults, and describes the simulation result of two distance relay algorithms (discrete fourier transform and modified differential equation methods)

This paper proposes a modified current differential relay for transformer protection unaffected by the remanent flux. The relay uses the same restraining current as a conventional relay, but the differential current is modified to compensate for the effects of the exciting current. To cope with the remanent flux, before saturation, the relay calculates the core-loss current and uses it to modify the measured differential current. When the core then enters saturation, the initial value of the flux is obtained by inserting the modified differential current at the start of saturation into the magnetization cure. Thereafter, the actual core flux is then derived and used in conjunction with the magnetization curve to calculate the magnetizing current. A modified differential current is then derived that compensates for the core-loss and magnetizing currents. The performance of the proposed differential relay was compared against a conventional differential relay. Results indicate that the modified relay remained stable during severe magnetic inrush and over-excitation because the exciting current was successfully compensated. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. The relay discriminates magnetic inrush and over-excitation from an internal fault and is not affected by the level of remanent flux.

In this paper a new structure of BJT is proposed to improve the saturation voltage characteristics so that it can be used to the low power switching devices. In the case of the conventional finger transistor(FT), the saturation voltage is so high that it dose not satisfy the requirements for the low power device. So the other multi base island transistor(MBIT) is suggested and its saturation voltage is so low in the region of low current that it satisfy the requirement for the low power switching devices, but in region of the high current the saturation voltage tends to increase so that it does not satisfy the requirements for the low power switching devices. So in this paper a new structure of folded back electrode transistor(FBET) is proposed and the characteristics is investigated. When the new structure is applied the emitter area is increased by 35 % so the saturation voltage is reduced by 30 % at the low current region and the contact area is increased by 92 % so the saturation voltage is reduced by totally f % at the high current region with the reduction of 30 % by the increase of the emitter area and the reduction of 7 % by the increase of the emitter contact area.

This paper proposes a modified current differential relay for $Y-{\Delta}$ transformer protection. The relay uses the same restraining current as a conventional relay, but the differential current is modified to compensate for the effects of the exciting current. A method to estimate the circulating component of the delta winding current is proposed. To cope with the remanent flux, before saturation, the core-loss current is calculated and used to modify the measured differential current. When the core then enters saturation, the initial value of the flux is obtained by inserting the modified differential current at the start of saturation into the magnetization cure. Thereafter, the core flux is then derived and used in conjunction with the magnetization curve to calculate the magnetizing current. A modified differential current is then derived that compensates for the core-loss and magnetizing currents. The performance of the proposed differential relay was compared against a conventional differential relay. Test results indicate that the modified relay remained stable during severe magnetic inrush and over-excitation, because the exciting current was successfully compensated. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. The relay does not require additional restraining signal and thus cause time delay of the relay.
