Random selection of PCB layout and placement of the surge protection devices in the protection circuitry results in a large overshoot with oscillatory response. The clamped output voltage level includes the overshoot due to distant placement of the suppressor devices and EMI filter capacitors. This degrades the performance of transient voltage surge suppression systems. The three fold decrease in track width deteriorates the performance substantially. An experimental study with supporting formulae is reported. Effects of different PCB layouts and placement of varistors driven with a 1.2/50 /spl mu/s combination wave is reported. The effect on the performance due to location of the EMI filter capacitors and varistors on the PCB track is discussed along with the results. The resulting waveforms are reported to depict the effect and results are discussed with conclusions.

The proposed analog-based modified PWM control scheme for the DC-AC inverter can eliminate the low order harmonic components caused by the nonconstant DC voltage source. A simple high power factor full-bridge rectifier with the valley-fill filter is selected to realize the nonconstant DC voltage source. Operation modes of the valley fill filter are included in the paper. The performance of the proposed modified PWM control scheme is verified by computer simulation and experimental results.

This paper summaries the geometrical effects on the winding loss performance of a low profile inductor with spiral coil. Relevant winding loss equations are derived and applied to an optimization algorithm that searches for the design that minimizes the total winding loss at a given core height and footprint area. It has been found that the curves of winding loss versus winding arrangement with different core height show a minimum loss at a critical winding arrangement and core height. Below or above these critical factors, the loss increases drastically. Finally, a new concept of critical frequency is developed to simplify the analysis of AC winding loss of spiral coil.

A novel deadbeat control of a three-phase current-fed PFC power converter with an optimum PWM pattern is presented to improve its dynamic state performance. In order to improve the utility-side current THD characteristics of this converter, the feasible optimum PWM pattern under conditions of lower switching frequency for large capacity applications is introduced. By using a moving-average that provides a digital filter function for measured variables, the ripple component of carrier frequency can be removed. This deadbeat control scheme with proposed optimum PWM for current-fed three-phase PWM converter could be successfully applied to improve the transient response of utility-power source line current. It is proven from a simulation point of view that sinewave line current shaping can be achieved for a three-phase current source converter operating under unity power factor and proposed control system provides a fast transient response.

A novel rectifier topology for high power (0.5 to 10 MVA) current source based AC motor drives is proposed. This rectifier is composed of a multi-winding transformer, a multilevel diode rectifier and a multi-level buck converter. The rectifier produces near unity input power factor and sinusoidal input current under any operating conditions. In addition, the proposed rectifier has a few other features such as reliable operation and high voltage operation capability. This paper addresses a number of system design considerations such as switching pattern, input power quality and the effects of discrepancies of transformer leakage inductances on the system performance. Experimental results on a 5 kVA/208 V four-level prototype are also included.

A novel neural network (NN) based trajectory tracking controller for a servo system that also incorporates a knowledge-based control scheme is proposed in this paper. A decentralized control scheme, which neither requires a priori knowledge of the plant nor learning of the system dynamics, is introduced to deactivate the coupled dynamics associated with certain systems like robotic manipulators. The NN is employed to classify the system input-output measurements into several patterns depending on the displacement and velocity deviations from the respective desired trajectories. A proportional plus derivative gain control action is determined from a look-up table corresponding to the classification from the NN. Furthermore, an integrator is applied to enhance system performance. Several PD gains are introduced in a staggered format relative to the magnitudes of the displacement and velocity tracking errors, resulting in a controller that is robust to both structured and unstructured uncertainties.

In an UPS, the battery acts as a reservoir of energy. However the available energy is dependent upon several parameters like the charging time, charging rate, self discharge, aging of the cells and the permitted voltage up to which discharge is to be allowed. Thus the stored energy content must be known accurately to predict the backup operation time left in the event of abnormal mains supply, after which the UPS has to be shut down. This paper presents a method of online calculation of the battery backup time depending on the actual rate of discharge and its terminal voltage. This technique takes into account the charge condition of the battery, the self-discharge aging and change in load current to give a true estimate of backup time. This information is sent to the computer via a serial port and is displayed at one corner of the user monitor screen. Such a facility helps the user to save and close all the running programs before the shut down of the UPS.
