Abstract: | In recent years, power source voltage waveform distortion has become noticeable, as electrical appliances with rectifier circuits have become widely used. Connecting capacitor inductor motor (CRM) to such distorted supply, or controlling CRM by simple controller with a switching device (such as triacs), harmonic voltage is supplied to CRM. In that case, CRM produces electromagnetic vibrations caused by not only the fundamental voltage but also time-harmonic voltages in the distorted voltage. In addition, CRM produces electromagnetic vibration due to backward magnetic fields. Thus, it is difficult to clarify a relationship between electromagnetic vibration of CRM and harmonic voltages. In this paper, the causes of the electromagnetic vibration of CRM operating under distorted wave supply voltage are discussed. First, a general equation of dominant electromagnetic force waves is shown considering not only forward magnetic fields but also backward magnetic fields. Using a general equation, causes of dominant electromagnetic vibration can be clarified. Next, by discussing in detail some examples of the dominant vibration, the relationship between the vibration and harmonic voltages becomes evident. Furthermore, the relationship between the vibration and backward magnetic field is clarified. |
