Thin-gauged 3% Si-Fe sheets having a high magnetic induction of over 1.9 T have been developed for the purpose of applications where operation frequency is higher than power frequency. In order to clarify requirements of iron loss characteristics for the applications, iron loss characteristics of the newly developed strip were investigated by iron loss separation method and were compared with those of commercially produced 0.3 mm-thick electrical sheets. In case of relatively high excitation induction(1.7 T) and low frequency(60 Hz), reducing hysteresis loss is effective to decrease total iron loss. In case of relatively low excitation induction(1.0 T) and high frequency(1 kHz), reducing eddy-current loss is effective by decreasing thickness and grain size to improve total iron loss.

A PWM inverter for an induction motor often has a problem with a high frequency leakage current that flows through stray capacitors between stator windings and a motor frame to ground. This paper proposes a new type of Active Common Mode Voltage Canceler circuit for the reduction of common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current generated by the PWM VSI-fed induction motor drives. The compensating voltage applied by the common made voltage canceler has the same amplitude as, hut the opposite polarity to, the common mode voltage by PWM Inverter. Therefore, common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current can be canceled. The proposed circuit consists of four-level half-bridge inverter and common-mode transformer. Simulated and experimental results show that common mode voltage canceler makes significant contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current.

The high rate of voltage rise (dv/dt) in motor terminals caused by high-frequency switching and impedance mismatches between inverter and motor are known as the primary causes of irregular voltage distributions and insulation breakdowns on stator windings in IGBT PWM inverter-driven induction motors. In this paper, voltage distributions in the stator windings of an induction motor driven by an IGBT PWM inverter are studied. To analyze the irregular voltages of stator windings, high frequency parameters are derived from the finite element (FE) analysis of stator slots. An equivalent circuit composed of distributed capacitances, inductance, and resistance is derived from these parameters. This equivalent circuit is then used for simulation in order to predict the voltage distributions among the turns and coils. The effects of various rising times in motor terminal voltages and cable lengths on the stator voltage distribution are also presented. For a comparison with simulations, an induction motor with taps in the stator turns was made and driven by a variable-rising time switching surge generator. The test results are shown.

Analysis of faults in induction motors has become a major field of research due to importance of loss and damage reduction and maximum online performance of motors. There are several methods to analyze the faults in an induction motor from conventional Fourier transform to modern decision-making neural networks. Considering detectability of fault among all methods, a new fault detection solution has been proposed; it is called as frequency-domain Discrete Wavelet Transform (FD-DWT). In this method, the stator current is decomposed through series of low- and high-pass filters and consequently, the fault characteristics are more visible, because additional components have been reduced. The objective of this paper is early detection of input voltage unbalance in induction motor using wavelet transform in frequency domain. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in early detection of faults.

A method of speed sensorless vector control of induction motor is proposed in this paper. This method uses the slip frequency estimated by only the primary voltage and current. As this slip frequency accords with the command value of it, the commanded primary frequency is controlled. The validity of the method is confirmed by the simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents an optimal efficiency control for the inverter fed induction machine system using neural network. The motor speed and the load torque vary the efficiency characteristics of an induction motor. The optimal slip frequency has nonlinearity varied by the load torque as well as the motor speed. The induction motor is driven using the inverter system and the indirect vector control method which input is slip frequency. The neural network for estimating the optimal slip frequency has two input layer(the motor speed and the load torque) and one output layer(the optimal slip frequency that minimize the input power). Learning algorithm of the neural network is the back-propagation. Using the equivalent circuit including the nonlinearity of the induction motor, the loss reduction is analyzed quantitatively. Experimental results are shown noticeable power savings by proposed scheme in high speed and light load conditions.
