Main Research
| Development of Magnetic Oscillation Type Sinusoidal-output Inverter |
|---|
| At present, PWM inverter is used to supply electric power to the mains from dc voltage source generated by the solar cell and the fuel cell. On the other hand, I propose a new sinusoidal-output inverter based on the principle of magnetic oscillation which is different method from the PWM inverter. The inverter has simple construction, and can supply electric power to the mains directly from dc voltage source. |
| Applications of Bridge-connected Magnetic Circuit to New Measuring and Controlling Devices |
| A bridge-connected magnetic circuit is a magnetic controlling device which consists of a toroidal core with small coercive force and rectangular hysteresis loop and a U-form core with low permeability. Maximum flux value of the toroidal core can be easily controlled by the signal-current flows through the winding of U-form core. Utilizing this feature, I am proposing applications of the bridge-connected magnetic circuit, by using that independently or combining with magnetic oscillation circuit, to new measuring and controlling instruments such as power meter with high performance and variable voltage parametric transformer. |
Introduction of Laboratory
| My research field is non-linear magnetic application in the area of electrical engineering, and my present interest is magnetic oscillation circuit and its application. In the magnetic oscillation, several power semiconductors such as transistor and MOSFET are switched with the saturation of magnetic core, and the magnetic oscillation circuit is applied as the power unit with very simple construction from the old days. My present research is to develop new measuring and controlling instruments utilizing the magnetic oscillation. |
