Electric machines need to be tested in laboratory conditions by using machine test systems in order to make sure they perform as intended. However, most of the time it is very difficult to replace the components of an electric machine test system. Usually, their mechanical design is not suitable for different frame sizes and their power converters can drive only a single type machine. So, each setup can be used with a very limited range of electrical machines. This study aims to design and implement an electric machine test bench with modular power electronics that can be used for a wide range of electric machines. Each power module is composed of a half bridge transistor, DC bus PCB, snubber and DC bus capacitors and gate drivers so each one can be used independently by connecting to suitable controller and feedback modules. Design steps for the half bridge module are explained in detail including component selections, protections, PCB design and FEA results for DC bus and gate drive loop. Prototype module is tested under double pulse and RL load tests and results are shown. In order to demonstrate the modular design, four modules are connected to create a three phase inverter with braking chopper. Three phase RL load and braking test results are presented. Finally the system is tested on an Induction machine at different frequencies and current levels. Current limited frequency control method is suggested and implemented.

Evaluation of Photovoltaic Systems For Reactive Power Compensation In Low Voltage Power Systems Uğur, Mesut; Duymaz, Erencan; Göl, Murat; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25) The four-quadrant operation ability of photovoltaic (PV) inverters makes them promising candidates for reactive power compensation in low voltage systems. In this paper, utilization of PV inverters instead of conventional reactive power compensation units is evaluated. The use of PV inverters for reactive power compensation as well as active power supplying is investigated considering a real life system. The considered system suffers from low capacitive power factor due to the connected online UPS system. T...
Development of strain monitoring system for glass fiber reinforced composites via embedded electrically conductive pathways Tanabi, Hamed; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-15) Among numerous types of health-monitoring and damage-sensing sensors that can be integrated into composites, electrically conductive sensors offer a simple, cost-effective, and durable option for structural health monitoring in fiber reinforced composites. In this study, a novel approach is introduced to create electrical conductive networks in glass fiber reinforced composites. For this purpose, hollow micro-channels are generated using vaporization of sacrificial components (VaSCs) which are subsequently ...
Design and implementation of an optimized printed circuit board axial-flux permanent magnet machine Tokgöz, Furkan; Çakal, Gökhan; Keysan, Ozan (2020-08-23) © 2020 IEEE.Although axial-flux machines are used in a different variety of applications, production challenge of the stator winding is a limiting factor for more widely use of these machines. Printed circuit board winding (PCB) can mitigate the production challenges of the axial-flux machines by introducing cheap and precise mass production capabilities. In this paper, the design and implementation of an 16 pole, 2000 RPM, 40 W axial-flux permanent magnet machine with PCB winding for gimbal camera stabiliz...
Development of a Three-Tier Test to Assess Misconceptions About Simple Electric Circuits Pesman, Haki; Eryılmaz, Ali (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The authors aimed to propose a valid and reliable diagnostic instrument by developing a three-tier test on simple electric circuits. Based on findings from the interviews, open-ended questions, and the related literature, the test was developed and administered to 124 high school students. In addition to some qualitative techniques for establishing the validity, some quantitative techniques were also used. Consequently, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was estimated for the test as .69, and results ...
A software for simulation and controller development for high frequency high voltage power supplies Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Demirel, O (2000-08-18) This paper describes a software developed for the simulation of high voltage (up to 125 kV), high frequency power supply for radiology equipment. The main components of the power supply are an AC-DC conversion stage, a high frequency inverter feeding a resonant load. The resonant load is the impedance reflected to the inverter side of the, high voltage high frequency transformer Seeding the X-ray tube. The software has modules for each of the components of the converter mentioned above, which can be modifie...
