Input filters of power converters for compliance with regulatory electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards are often over-dimensioned in practice due to a non-optimal selection of number of filter stages and/or the lack of solid volumetric models of the inductor cores. This paper presents a systematic filter design approach based on a specific filter attenuation requirement and volumetric component parameters. It is shown that a minimal ...

In this paper, we propose a DSP or FPGA based transversal flux eddy current sensor position measurement technique for rotors in high-speed electrical drives using active magnetic bearings. Compared to the state-of-the-art demodulation technique using analog mixers or rectifiers, the published method shows a lower circuit complexity and allows fulfilling the high bandwidth needs of highly dynamic systems as well as the improved accuracy ...
