• ### Model for a synchronous p.c.m. transmission complex

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1743 - 1748
| |PDF (715 KB)

One of the proposed synchronisation systems for a large-scale p.c.m. transmission and switching complex uses independent oscillators at each station, which are phase-locked to the average phase of all the incoming lines. This paper derives a simple analogue to the system which allows a sufficient stability condition to be stated by inspection. The effect of parameter changes upon the equilibrium f...

• ### Internal structure and parametric representation of equivalent resistive n-port networks

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1749 - 1754
| |PDF (742 KB)

The theory of resistive n-port networks has attracted considerable interest during the last decade. This is due, partly, to the fact that results obtained in analysis and synthesis of resistive networks have been applied to many other engineering problems. The field of applications covers all such systems which can be modelised by nets whose branch characteristics may be expressed by real numbers,... View full abstract»

Propagation tests indicate that the skywave field strength from a medium-frequency broadcasting transmitter can be reduced by 16dB on paths to the north at midlatitudes in the southern hemisphere, when vertically polarised transmission is replaced by orthogonal transmission. The reduction is observed to vary with time and path bearing, the variation with time being such that, during any one night,... View full abstract»

• ### Application of finite elements to the solution of Helmholtz's equation

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1762 - 1766
Cited by:  Papers (11)
| |PDF (501 KB)

A novel method, that of finite elements, for the solution of Helmholtz's equation is suggested. Various 2- and 3-dimensional problems are solved using this method, and the results are compared with more conventional techniques, particularly the finite-difference method, which it may be regarded to supersede. The ease with which various boundary conditions may be handled is discussed and illustrate... View full abstract»

It is shown that the nonquadrature, tapped-quadrature and shaded-pole forms of single-phase induction motor can be equivalent to a conventional quadrature motor having a common line impedance. It follows that a single equivalent circuit can be used to determine the performance of each form of motor, provided that appropriate values are employed for the circuit elements in each case. In consequence... View full abstract»

| |PDF (709 KB)

The problem of travelling electromagnetic waves in multiregion induction machines at power frequencies is examined. Using the concept of surface impedance, a method is derived whereby equivalent circuits can be established in a systematic manner. A method of determining levitation force from a knowledge of the equivalent circuit is developed. Calculation of input and output power is simplified usi... View full abstract»

• ### Induction-motor losses due to nonsinusoidal supply waveforms

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1777 - 1782
Cited by:  Papers (39)
| |PDF (740 KB)

The paper presents an analytical and experimental study of the additional losses which occur in induction motors supplied with nonsinusoidal waveforms. Measurements on an inverted induction motor are used to show the importance of losses due to skew-leakage and end-leakage fluxes, and to verify the methods developed for calculating these components. Computed losses are compared with test results o... View full abstract»

• ### Cogging torques in induction machines

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1783 - 1790
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| |PDF (1111 KB)

Depending on the choice of design parameters, an induction machine can produce a cogging torque sufficiently high to give rise to locking at standstill. It is noted that the commonly used method of analysis of these torques, involving permeance waves, is strictly incorrect, and its use in conjunction with the overlapÂ¿ method is inaccurate. The way in which cogging torques arise is discussed in t... View full abstract»

• ### Performance of Lorenz-type medium-frequency inductor alternators on load

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1791 - 1800
Cited by:  Papers (1)
| |PDF (975 KB)

Earlier papers have discussed the air-gap flux-density distribution in inductor alternators and have verified the theory by measurement. It is the aim of this paper to show that, with a knowledge of flux-density distribution, it is possible to predict the load performance of these machines from the open-circuit curveÂ¿an easily calculable starting point. First, the measured open-circuit voltages a... View full abstract»

• ### Output coefficient of synchronous machines. A new concept

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1801 - 1807
Cited by:  Papers (3)
| |PDF (829 KB)

In the design of synchronous salient-pole generators and motors, current formulas for the output coefficient express this constant in terms either of the apparent power, speed, length of stator core and gap diameter or of the magnetic and electric loading. The paper develops an analysis in which the output coefficient is expressed as a function of the dimensions of the stator core, the magnetic lo... View full abstract»

• ### Simulation of convertor performance under unbalanced conditions

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1809 - 1817

• ### Nonlinear transformer-winding synthesis for improved surge-voltage distribution

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1821 - 1827
| |PDF (745 KB)

The paper shows that the capacitance and inductance distributions within a power transformer can be so synthetised that an acceptable transient surge-voltage distribution can be obtained without necessarily requiring the reinforcement of end turns. This process can furthermore be carried out without contravening practical requirements, in particular without increasing a given transformer frame siz... View full abstract»

| |PDF (609 KB)

A linearised analysis of a multiterminal h.v. d.c. system leads to a stability criterion in a convenient form for assessing the results of changes in controller properties at one terminal. Constant-current, constant-power and constant-extinction-angle control are considered in detail, and the stability of various control configurations is examined. The predictions of the small-signal analysis are ... View full abstract»

• ### Magnetic properties of grain-oriented silicon iron. Part 1: Use of ceramic displacement transducers for the measurement of magnetostriction

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1835 - 1839
Cited by:  Papers (1)
| |PDF (481 KB)

One basic problem in the measurement of magnetostriction in laminations is that samples of silicon-iron sheet are rarely perfectly flat when tested. This can sometimes lead to spurious values for the longitudinal magnetostriction, with ceramic displacement transducers. A method has been developed whereby, using three transducers in turn, the true longitudinal component of magnetostrictive motion c... View full abstract»

• ### Magnetic properties of grain-oriented silicon iron. Part 2: Basic experiments on the nature of the anomalous loss using an individual grain

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1840 - 1845
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| |PDF (656 KB)

Measurements of the position of the parallel-bar-domain walls at various points on the magnetising cycle have been made over the frequency range 25Â¿100 Hz in an individual grain of transformer steel, using the Kerr magneto-optic technique. A single-turn search coil of very thin wire wound around the test grain, through two 0.004 in holes, enabled the flux density to be measured. By plotting the d... View full abstract»

The loss-tangent of aged samples of poly(4-methyl pentene-1) have been measured within the temperature range 2.5Â¿295Â° K and frequency range 229HzÂ¿21.5kHz. These results have been compared with published results made on a new sample of the polymer. The nature of the loss tangent and the number of absorption regions depended on the age of the polymer. The aged samples exhibited absorption regions... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1849 - 1852
| |PDF (413 KB)

Studies of the changes in magnetic properties of PtCo and PtFe consequent on replacing part or whole of the platinum by palladium, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium, and on preparative methods and heat treatments for these alloys, have shown that the pseudobinary alloys do not appear to offer improvements in magnetic properties. By careful heat treatment of PtCo, made by sintering and working or by v... View full abstract»

• ### Evaluation of some aspects of relativity

Publication Year: 1968, Page(s):1853 - 1856
| |PDF (628 KB)

If the relativity theory is to predict experimental results about the rates of clocks, the time intervals must be defined in such a way that they are capable of measurement. When this is done the confusion which has been associated with the theory is explained. The theory is shown to be self-consistent up to a point, but an error is then made in the course of a thought experimentÂ¿. The result gi... View full abstract»

The paper analyses the behaviour of induction motors in control systems in response to sinusoidally varying torque distrurbances by using a 2-coil rotor model. It is found that induction motors exhibit resonance and possibilities of instability in response to torque disturbances, and transient torques substantially greater than the steady-state peak torque of the motor may be generated in the regi...
