Projects in Crompton Greaves ltd completed in chronological order

§ Designed and developed a power electronic instrument for Partial discharge detection in motor insulation system.

Now a days Inverter Fed Drives are facing the problem of voltage surges at the input of the motor winding due to long cables used for connecting inverter and motor. So in order to confirm the applicability of IM to the inverter feeding during the manufacturing stage itself, an instrument is to be designed. This instrument is power electronic based which will simulate the actual surge condition at high frequency. Due to the high frequency surges, If the partial discharge is detected will prove the destruction of the insulation system of the motor. This instrument is MOSFET based which give 5KV and operating at 1KHz frequency. This was been simulated using SABER.

§ Designed power supply unit for a remote controlled Fan regulator using Fly-back topology and simulation done using Orcad Pspice.

A power supply unit for the control and power units of a remote controlled regulator circuit was designed. The design is based on Fly-back converter topology. This circuit was simulated using Orcad Pspice.

§ Prediction of performance of BLDC motors done using Electromagnetic analysis (FEM tools) on BLDC products and validated them experimentally.

This project is being done in order to improve the level of Technology in CG in related to BLDC products. The BLDC products include motors and magnetizing fixtures. This research consists of the finite element analysis (Magnet 2D) of Electromagnetic field in a BLDC motor. In this paper different processes of evaluation of permanent magnets are given. Complete prediction of Flux linkage, Back-EMF and torque waveforms of the BLDC product was done. The simulation results are in agreement with the experimental results. This helps to better understanding of the BLDC technology and optimizing the design and reducing the lead-time of a project in R&D.

§ Devised a reliable design procedure for BLDC motor by integrating Magnet 2D and PC-BDC packages.

A design procedure was devised and validated for BLDC products based on integrating both field and lumped parameter approach. Here the field approach is Magnet 2D and lumped parameter approach is PC-BDC program.

· Devised the different processes of evaluation of permanent magnets for using them in BLDC applications.

This is done in order to evaluate the suitability of the permanent magnets sent by our vendors to our applications. Different processes are devised using Magnet 2D package and validated experimentally.
