A novel way of optimizing a reluctance motor with rotor manufactured by 3D printing technology is presented. The optimization algorithms must take into account the tolerances of its production that are generally higher compared with classical processing, which requires a high level of&#...

A frequent difficulty occurring in solving electroheat problems is correct setting of the temperature-dependent material characteristics. These are well known in the case of the pure metals, but not so much for alloys, as they depend on their chemical compositions. The paper presents&#x...

Partial discharge (PD) signal analysis is a well-known tool for monitoring the conditions of insulation systems of electrical machines and equipment. Classical analyzes of PD are mostly based on the eval- uation of the phase angle of the test voltage at which partial discharges...

A linear peristaltic pump is designed and modeled. The pump is controlled by a set of five electromagnetic actuators with ferromagnetic cores pressing in the given order an elastic tube with pumped liquid. The paper shows and describes the basic arrangement of the device, pres...

Impulse testing procedures are commonly used for various investigation of high- voltage insulation. Especially for introduction of new type of electrical insulation, like ecofriendly gases alternative to SF6, the statistical behavior of breakdown voltage should be evaluated.

Design of electrical machines with low carbon footprint is an actual topic in the industry. Total cost of ownership is the standardized methodology to consider the lifetime costs of a power transformer already in the pre-concept design stage. There still does not exist a widel...

Accurate temperature control is an important part of an induction brazing process, because of a small difference between melting points of aluminum and soldering material. However, direct measurement of the local temperature at the spot of brazing is not possible in a production li...

A 3D model of induction-assisted laser welding of stainless cylindrical pipes is presented, incorporating two physical fields: magnetic field and temperature field in the welded pipe that influence one another. The model is solved in quasi-coupled formulation using software COMSOL Multiphysics&#x...
