A new age is dawning in engineering software. For the first time individual power system engineers can write their own software to do complex analysis rather than relying on software vendors. This is made possible by the introduction into the software marketplace of interactive graphic software which allows complex calculations to be done in symbolic form rather than in software code form. This reduces the time required to create calculation software to a fraction of that previously required. An additional advantage of this software is that it has an open architecture which allows modifications by other users. Users can alter the program as desired to be compatible with other software programs or to achieve specific desired results. This paper is an example of one program written in this symbolic software which calculates harmonic current flow using the admittance matrix method.<>

The purpose of this paper is not to reveal any new technology or major break through pertaining to the impact of pulse width modulated (PWM) adjustable speed drives operating on AC motors. Nor is it to discuss the merits of the various designs of the drives. The applications are also well defined. The area where much confusion still exists deals with the voltage waveform impact on the motor performance. Hence, this is the central theme of the paper. The author has assumed that the traditional fundamental sinewave voltage is (except for starting or outside influences) a steady state condition, with a maximum and an RMS value. The effects of the maximum voltage, rate of rise, switching frequencies, resonance and harmonics are all considered.<>

When a motor fails, the user or owner faces three choices: to rewind to the same efficiency; to rewind to a higher efficiency; or to replace it with a new motor of either a standard or premium efficiency design. This paper covers the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and the precautions that must be taken to avoid increasing motor losses if rewinding is chosen.<>

The authors argue that it is important to emphasize that the entire power cable design must be tested when insulation thermal ratings are studied. Thermal expansion of the polymers (strand shield, insulation, insulation shield) must function unilaterally. All extruded layers must resist embrittlement and expansion concerns with effect on the metallic shield have to be taken into account. Some polymer systems will take a permanent set to irregular shapes around the shielding with resulting deleterious partial discharge and reduced breakdown voltages.<>

Energy conservation has been alive and well in the pulp and paper industry for many years. In the early 70s and 80s, each paper mill or organization worked independently to reduce their total energy consumption. Now in the 1990s, federal and state legislation (i.e. State of Minnesota Omnibus Energy Bill) make it advantageous for pulp and paper mills to share information and strategies to take advantage of electrical utility rebates. This paper presents four examples of energy conservation programs currently in use in the US paper industry.<>

Sheeters use complex mechanical gears to perform the cutting operation of different paper sheet sizes. These gears set the cut length either hydraulically or with manual levers. They form an expensive part of the complete machine. To make it easier to revamp existing machines and also have more flexibility in the design of new ones, the direct drive sheeter was designed and built. There are no more gears, and a highly dynamic DC drive and control system determine the operation of the sheeter.<>

The electrical and electronics staff at chemical plants worldwide are facing a new problem with increasing regularity. Control systems no longer work in harmony with the process being controlled. This problem is manifested by events such as alarms that have no cause, untraceable variations in plant operations, product quality and quantity that fall below acceptable levels, and unscheduled shutdowns. This problem is not limited to process control rooms, but applies to the commercial computer system that controls the administrative and management information systems as well. The system failures usually derive from substandard air quality and its effects on the electronic equipment in the control rooms. The solution is to have acceptable air quality in the critical facilities at the time the control systems are installed. The damage is irreversible, so "prevention" is the objective. This paper outlines the standards by which electronic control rooms should be designed and built, and how gas phase filtration equipment can be applied to achieve the desired protection levels.<>

The selection of material for induction motor rotor conductors is an old question and has been the subject of numerous papers and other literature for many years. This paper presents a new process being used in the construction of aluminum conductor rotors and reviews rotor construction from a slightly different point of view. The comparison is viewed using simple engineering concepts to illustrate the value of fabricated aluminum construction. The results of this new process have been impressive, particularly for two-pole motors, making fabricated aluminum construction the designer's choice.<>

High resolution magnetoresistive digital tachometers have recently been introduced to the pulp and paper industry. This industry, by its own admission, has been technologically conservative due to the high cost of down time for equipment failure. In spite of this conservatism, high resolution patterned magnetoresistive (MR) digital tachometers have very quickly gained acceptance with both the motor and drive manufacturers as well as the end user. The combination of this sensor and a magnetic pulse wheel allows five times the sensitivity of previous magnetic technologies utilizing a Hall effect sensor and gear tooth wheels. This technology, coupled in an innovative mechanical and electrical digital tachometer design, allows the use of interchangeable sensor modules, enhancing ease of maintenance and serviceability for mill personnel. The unique properties of the MR sensor/magnetic pulse wheel combination result in a high resolution digital tachometer with a high degree of immunity to environmental contamination. This improved reliability is extremely important in many mill applications. The purpose of this paper is to introduce this technology and to explain its attributes for usage in the pulp and paper industry.<>
