Six stator slot couplers(SSC) and a flux probe sensor installed on the stator winding slots of large turbine generator. Assessment of insulation condition has been based upon the measurements of partial discharge(PD) of stator windings and shorted-turn of rotor windings in operating large turbine generator. The maximum PD magnitude(Qm), normalized quantify number(NQN), PD pattern and shorted-turn were measured using on-line insulation condition monitoring system. The NQN and Qm of slot PD side in the phase A are indicated the highest value in six SSC sensors. Monitoring system results showed that discharge at conductor surface and internal discharge were detected at the surface of stator winding and in voids of the groundwall insulation. Insulation of stator and rotor windings in large turbine generator was judged to be in good condition.

In this study, we deal with the system design and development of the automatic page passing machine. In order to turn pages without injury of a book or a musical note, we used an inhalation motor. Also, when we turn over pages. the successive actions of fixation and inhalation are embodied by motors which are operated by a microprocessor. In traditional products. some limited pages must be fixed into the Turning Bar in advance. On the contrary, proposed equipment is able to turn over the pages of a book without laying the groundwork. Experimental results using produced facilities are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed equipment.

A novel lossless passive snubber is proposed for soft switching the boost type converters. The proposed snubber does not use any auxiliary switches. but uses two identical snubber capacitors which are charged in parallel at turn off of the main switch and discharged in series at turn on automatically, and the discharged energy is recovered effectively (more than $95[\%]$ recovery) into the output capacitor. Thus, the snubber provides zero voltage switching for the converter main switch, reducing both the turn off losses and the electromagnetic interference(EMI) noise, whitch improves the converter performance. The experimental results of a 20[kHz] 600[W] DC-DC boost converter and a single-phase AC-DC boost rectifier with the new snubber are presented.

There are many elements that affect the average torque of the single phase SRM. It is related with the stator and rotor pole arcs, the dwell angle of the exciting current, the turn on/off angle, etc., Most of all, the turn on/off angle is affect the design procedure of the driving and control circuit. So, in this study, it is intend to analyze the effect that the variations of the turn on/off angle affects the average torque. and then this analyses will be used to design the control driver of the single phase SRM.

In this paper, a novel Zero-Current-Transition (ZCT) technique, which provides Zero-Current-Switching (ZCS) turn-off of the main switch, the main diode and the auxiliary switch, is presented. The proposed auxiliary circuit consists of minimum elements only one auxiliary switch, resonant inductor and resonant capacitor. Also the reduced di/dt, which is obtained by resonant inductor, helps soft turn-on of the main switch. Besides, to eliminate the additional conduction loss and current stress on main switch, a topological variation was performed. The theoretical analysis and the operation principle of the new ZCT techniques are described in detail with a boost converter as an example. To verify the validity of the proposed ZCT techniques, the simulation and the experiment were performed under 1kW output power and 100kHz switching frequency.

In this paper, the effects of trap distribution on switching characteristis of a lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT) are investigated. The simulations are performed in order to to analyze the effect of the positon, width and concentration of trap distribution model with a reduced minority carrier lifetime using 2D device simulator MEDICI. The turn off time for the proposed LIGBT model A with the trap injection is 0.8$mutextrm{s}$. These results indicate the improvement of about 2 times compared with the conventional LIGBT. It is shown that the trap distribution model is very effective to reduce the turn-off time with a little increasing of on-state voltage drop.

This paper proposes a single-stage interleaved totem-pole on-board battery charger with a simple structure and a reduced component count. Apart from achieving ZVS turn-on of all switches and ZCS turn-off of all diodes, this charger does not require an input filter due to its CCM operation and bulky electrolytic capacitors, which in turn result in a high power density. A single-stage power conversion technique is applied to the interleaved structure in order to achieve a high power density and high efficiency. A 2.5 kW prototype of the proposed charger is also built and tested to validate the proposed operation.

New adaptive SR (synchronous rectification) control method is proposed offering high efficiency in entire load conditions for resonant converters, in this paper. Unlike the conventional SR control method where turn-on time of the MOSFETs is varied depending on load conditions due to the stray inductance induced by a lead frame of MOSFET or PCB patterns, the proposed method automatically maintains a time interval between turn-off instance of a MOSFET and zero current instance of a body diode of the MOSFET as a predetermined time, in each switching cycle. Therefore, optimized turn-on time of the MOSFET can be achieved regardless of the leakage inductance. In this paper, the operational principle of proposed control method has been discussed. It has been tested on LLC resonant converter with 240 W to verify the proposed control method.

This paper describes the improvement in converter efficiency by reducing the switching loss and by recovering the snubber stored energy. A capacitive based passive regenerative snubber circuit is modeled for a dc-dc boost converter. The proposed snubber is mainly used to reduce the turn-off loss of the main switch. The energy recovery process and the turn-off loss depends on the size of the snubber capacitance; therefore, the conventional and the proposed converters are designed for high and low input voltage conditions with different sizes of the snubber capacitance. Based on the results obtained, the snubber capacitors are classified as small, normal and large snubbers. The Matlab simulation results obtained are presented.

This paper proposed a fault diagnosis technique of induction motors winding fault based on an artificial neural network (ANN). This method used Park's vector pattern as input data of ANN. The ANN are firstly learned using this pattern, and then classify between 'healthy' and 'winding fault' (with 2, 10, and 20 shorted turn) induction motor under 0, 50, and $100\%$ load condition. Also the possibility of classification of untrained turn-fault and load condition are tested. The proposed method has been experimentally tested on a 3-phase, 1 HP squirrel-cage induction motor. The obtained results provided a high level of accuracy especially in small turn fault, and showed that it is a reliable method for industrial application
