    Distribution transformers are typically designed to operate under linear loading current. Nowadays, an emerging of modern electric loads that equipped with power conversion devices, it is inevitable that, the transformers are subjected to supply non-linear current. Those are resulting in a considerable increment of heat loss, temperature rising and shortening of insulation lifespan. In case of planning for retrofit or new utility system design, replacing conventional transformer with the low loss one is introduced. This paper therefore proposes a design and testing of low loss transformer using K-Factor and modified winding eddy current loss (WEC). Test results show that efficiency and temperature rise of the new design outperforms conventional one under standard testing of linear and non-linear loads.

    ;
    This paper proposes positioning control technique for a lab-scale heliostat by application of hybrid stepper motors and fuzzy logic controllers. Steady state tracking error has been kept minimal by micro step drive together with speed control by multi stepping rate adjustment. By supportive video streaming device and image processing, a reflected image of illuminant area on the target is captured and analyzed, an obtaining position error in azimuth and altitude angles are real-time fed to the fuzzy controllers. As a result, the closed loop tracking is formulated and steady state error can then be minimized. Simulation and experimental results confirm the proposed technique.

    Jirasuwankul, N.
    ;
    This paper presents a technique of induction motor's efficiency monitoring based on air-gap power and rotor loss estimation by Kalman filtering. A simplified model of three phase induction motor, with equivalent circuit of five elements, has been tested by the proposed technique with varying load torque and power to represent practical operations. Good agreement between the simulation and experimental results are found in a normal operating range of load torque and power. © 2013 IEEE.

    This research presents the design and the implementation of a system for detecting and preventing external faults of 3 phase induction motor using Eigen based analysis, in order to prevent faults in various pattern and reduce the complexity of data processing. The 6 inputs are composed of three-phase voltage and current signals for the induction motor. These inputs will be calculated for the root mean square values before the Eigen based analysis and Euclidean Distance calculation. These values are comparable to which of the normal condition of the induction motor, in order to identify the faults in 6 conditions of Single Phase, Over Voltage, Under Voltage, Over Load, Unbalance Voltage and Locked Rotor. The software is designed by MATLAB program connecting with the DAQ card for controlling the 6 signal inputs receiving and sending an output signal to control power supply relay to the induction motor. After the experiment under the various loading conditions was conducted, the system can detect and prevent the external faults in 6 conditions satisfactorily.

    This paper studies and compares the efficiency of voltage source inverter with traditional 3-phase rectifier direct current circuit on the front end, with passive filter, and with improved current wave shape. The efficiency evaluation is tested using THD, power factor and under changing modulation index, switching frequency and changing load. There is also a comparison of the effect of delta modulation switching technique and SPWM method on direct current circuit. ©2008 IEEE.

    This paper present laboratory digital signal analysis with virtual spectrum analyzer which is created using LabVIEW program on digital oscilloscope TDS 5054. This research aims to develop a knowledge-base on digital signal analysis and the working of virtual instrumentation, a topic which is currently attracting wide interest due to its many good attributes including flexibility, modularity, and low cost. It also aims to make a good use of expensive digital oscilloscope TDS 5054. In this study, laboratory spectrum analysis is performed with variable sampling rate, effect of windows filter etc. The results are displayed by both time domain and frequency domain. There are samples of signal waveforms such as Sinusoidal Waveform, Square waveform, Six-step waveform, and PWM (pulse width modulation) waveform. These waveforms are important in the study of power electronics. The data are obtained using special module program to extract information from the digital oscilloscope. © 2005 IEEE.

    This paper presents a prototype of stator winding shorted turns detector for three-phase induction motors. The focus condition is turn-to-turn short circuit, because this condition is the initial problem. The diagnosis technique is detectable from the voltage sum of the three instantaneous line to star-point voltage. In the testing, the supply is sinusoidal waveform and the motor must be star connected with floating neutral. Before diagnosis, this instrument will also determine the level of supply voltage imbalance, if it is over the limit, the test instrument will not diagnose shorted turns. From experimental results, 3-hp and 5-hp induction motors were used for testing this equipment which is capable of accurately identifying percentage of stator winding shorted turns. © 2005 IEEE.

    Investigation of modulation index on iron losses in soft magnetic materials supplied by DMPWM inverter
    (2009-12-01)
    Tangsiriworakul, Chanwit
    ;
    This paper studies iron losses and acoustic noise in soft magnetic materials supplied by delta-modulated PWM inverter (DMPWM). In the experiment, we use 0.5 mm-thick and determine equal peak fundamental flux density on each test procedure, with 0.3-0.9 modulation index and 1-5 kHz inverter switching frequencies. The results show that the difference of iron losses and acoustic noise depend on modulation index and switching frequency. Additionally, the results are useful for the criteria of designing standard inverter for low power losses.

    Electric cable is an important part of utility power and distribution system. In order to keep the system operation safely and reliable, acceptance testing for cable is necessary not only inservice but also manufacturing process. This paper proposes a novel testing technique which is able to classify the difference between normal and defective low voltage XLPE cable, namely polarization and depolarization current technique (PDC). In this study, PDC testing of low voltage XLPE cable was performed comparatively among five different cases: cable contaminated with a piece of paper, case 2 : cable contaminated with a piece of plastic, case 3 : cable contaminated with grease, case 4 : cable contaminated with a piece of copper, and case 5 : Eccentric conductor cable. With environmental control of the testing process, the test results show the polarization current of the defective contaminated cable with copper is higher than that of the regular one, whereas it is lower than that of the defective one with paper, plastic and grease. It is also found that there was indistinctive of PDC in case of copper contaminated and eccentric conductor cable.
