Written-Pole technology
Abstract:Seminar Written-Pole technology is a revolutionary, fundamentally simple approach to improve the performance of and generators. The use of technology-Pole written frees from one of the most fundamental limitations for designers of conventional induction and synchronous machines. Unlike models, where magnetic poles are determined by the geometry of cage rotor and the stator windings, coil written machines a unique concept which allows to optimize the geometry of the magnet for Peak Performance at the speed of operation of the varies.

Written-Pole technology is a revolutionary, yet fundamentally approach to enhancing the performance of electric motors and generators. The application of Written-Pole technology frees from one of the most basic constraints faced by designers of conventional induction and synchronous machines. Unlike designs, where the magnetic poles are fixed by the geometry of the rotor cage and stator windings, Written-Pole machines proprietary concept that optimizes the magnetic geometry of the for peak performance as the operating speed of the machine varies. Limitations of Conventional Technology The speed of an electric motor is directly proportional to both frequency and number of poles. Conversely, the output frequency generator is directly proportional to its speed and number of poles.

The requirement for smooth balanced output dictates that conventional electric machines must have an even number of magnetic poles with an equal number of north and south orientations. As a result, conventional electric machines are typically classified as 2, 4, 6, or . pole machines, having either 1, 2, 3, or .. pairs of north and south poles respectively. Deviating from this principle will produce an electric machine that is magnetically unstable at its rated speed and unsuitable for steadystate operation. Written-Pole technology frees designers from this constraint contradicting the fundamental rules that govern the operation of electric machines. The technology makes it possible to produce a pattern that correlates directly to the rotational speed of the enhancing performance through a considerable speed range. Written-Pole Advantage Written-Pole motors and generators incorporate a continuous magnetic material on the surface of the rotor which can be into any desired pole configuration using a high density winding contained within the stator windings. As the magnet material beneath this excitation winding, it is subjected to an alternating magnetic field produced by AC current flowing in the winding. strength and orientation of this magnetic field controls the the magnetic poles induced on the rotor. If the polarity of the material passing beneath the excitation winding does not match the polarity of the magnetic field produced by the winding, the polarity the magnet is reversed to match the field produced by the winding. Since the power supplied to the excitation winding is a constant frequency 60 Hz, AC sinusoidal supply, the actual size and poles generated on the surface of the rotor are dependent on the rotational speed of the machine. Lower speeds result in a larger of smaller poles with shorter spans, while higher speeds result in a smaller number of larger poles with longer spans. The concept is

in principle to the idea of a continuous magnetic tape looping recording head.

Speed = 1600 rpm Poles = 4.5 Pole Span = 85 deg An 1800-rpm, or 4-pole, electric motor operating at 1600-rpm 4.5 poles to maintain synchronous operation on constant Hz input. Conversely, for an 1800-rpm generator to maintain its Hz output at 1600 rpm also requires 4.5 poles. The ability to the pole geometry while in motion allows Written-Pole machines accommodate significant variances in speed without compromising performance. Upon attaining its rated speed, power to the excitation winding is removed allowing the machine to operate as a synchronous Variation from the machine's rated speed restores power to the excitation winding thereby ensuring that the pole geometry on the remains matched to the rotating electromotive fields produced by stator winding. A truly revolutionary development, Written-Pole technology designers of electric machines to attain new levels of performance the first time in the history of electric machine design.
