Eddy Current Brake (ECB) is a type of electric braking that uses eddy current to produce braking forces. This article delivers a solid review of the design of Axial ECB, which is very promising for an alternative braking system. Several types of axial ECB are classified and named as a single disk, double disk, and unipolar model. The classification of axial ECB is based on the design of coil placement, which induces axial area of the disk as well as the electromagnet source. A potential issue for the development of axial ECB is also discussed to explore the braking performance improvement of the axial type ECB. It was highlighted that research on how to change the direction of magnetic field vectors by changing the shape of the pole-shoe on the electromagnetic ECB in axial type has not been widely studied. Therefore, this issue would be interesting for future investigation.
In transportation, BLDC motors are required to have high torque. This BLDC electric motor is designed to drive an electric car. Increased torque can be done in many ways one of which is the selection of the stator material. Effect on the generated torque can be studied by replacing its stator materials. Design was begun with determining the electrical circuit and the coil for the excitation power. Electric motors which was simulated in this paper was a 3-phase BLDC motor. Voltage and current data were analyzed to study the motor performance when different core materials used. It can be concluded that applying ferrite materials stator core reduced core loss, while using ferrite core on the stator slots produces higher voltages and lower currents. Based on the magnitude of the torque produced by the electric motors, ferrite materials was more suitable to be used as slots of the stator core for better motor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
