Tools And Techniques

Electric motors are widely used in the industry and convert electrical power to mechanical power. Gears are connected with the motor shaft for frictionless power transmission. The power transmission efficiency is dropped when the gear teeth is damaged. It causes huge financial loss. There are various commercially available condition monitoring tools for the preventive maintenance and condition monitoring of the gearing systems. However, such tools and techniques are intrusive and costly. This paper presents a non-intrusive approach for timely detection of gear damages and can be integrated to existing condition monitoring systems to save time and cost. The proposed method is based on the analysis of power spectra of the frequency amplitude plots. The amplitude difference at gear harmonics gives indication of the presence of the fault. The proposed technique has been tested and validated at 1400 rpm and 1370 rpm of the motor which is operating at 75 % load and full load.

This paper describes the heat generation, power transmission efficiency, and life of plastic helical and worm wheels meshed with a steel worm. A machine for testing plastic worm gears was developed, in which the center distance and shaft angle are variable, and by which the transmission efficiency can be measured. Experiments were performed using plastic helical and worm wheels and steel worms under no-lubrication condition. Polyacetal homopolymer and copolymer were used as wheel materials. The tooth temperatures of the plastic helical and worm wheels and the torques of the worm and wheel shafts were measured. The failure mode for plastic helical and worm wheels; the temperature of the wheel teeth; the transmission efficiencies between meshing gear teeth; and the lives of plastic wheels were determined. The effects of backlash and shaft angle on the life of plastic wheels were also determined.

Mechanical gears are important power transmission element in drive systems. The efficiency of the gear drive is important as it is employed in almost all mechanical systems for obtaining desired speed-torque characteristics. Spur gears are obvious choice as a transmission element. The efficiency of spur gear is function of the friction factor, lubrication and dynamic factors like nature of contact and loading on teeth. Loads on gear teeth results in local elastic deformation at point of contact on profile, in addition to cantilever effect. Under tri-axial strains at teeth contour, strain energy is utilized, which is neither capable of performing useful work; nor capable of resuming it as useful energy to the drive. The present paper considers the effect of tri-axial strain on gear teeth. The deformation in profile is estimated. Strain energy required for elastic deformation under tooth load is predicted. Resulting effect on the transmission efficiency of spur gear is predicted.

The issues of increasing the efficiency of electricity transmission to consumers with different nature of their load are considered. The dependence of the efficiency of the electric network of the oil field, consisting of a power line and a step-down transformer, on the total load power at various ratios between the active and reactive components of the power is analyzed, and the conditions under which the maximum transmission efficiency can be ensured are determined. It is shown by examples that the power transmission efficiency depends not only on the active load, but also largely on its reactive load. In the presence of a constant reactive load and an increase in active load, the total power increases and the power transmission efficiency decreases. In the low-load mode, the schedule for changing the power transmission efficiency approaches a parabolic form, since the influence of the active load on the amount of active power loss decreases, and their value will mainly depend on reactive load, which remains unchanged. The efficiency reaches its maximum value provided that the active and reactive components of the power are equal. In the case of a different ratio between them, the efficiency decreases. With a simultaneous increase in active and reactive loads and a constant value of the power factor, the power transmission efficiency is significantly reduced due to an increase in losses. With a constant active load and an increase in reactive load, efficiency of power transmission decreases, since with an increase in reactive load, losses of active power increase, while the active power remains unchanged. The second condition, under which the line efficiency will be maximum, is full compensation of reactive power.  Therefore, in order to increase the efficiency of power transmission, it is necessary to compensate for the reactive load, which can reduce the loss of electricity and the cost of its payment and improve the quality of electricity. Other methods are also proposed to increase the efficiency of power transmission by regulating the voltage level in the power center, reducing the equivalent resistance of the line wires, optimizing the loading of the transformers of the step-down substations and ensuring the economic modes of their operation.

Background: Detuning is the main problem that affects the efficiency and transmission distance of the resonant coupling Wireless Power Transmission (WPT). The distance of load and the offset of the load position could cause serious detuning. Methods: This paper presents an adjustable coil in which inductance can be adjusted. Then a model of WPT was established that could compensate resonant frequency automatically using the adjustable coil. Next, the relationship between the primary resonant frequency and the transmission efficiency is analyzed from the circuit. The analysis proved that the design of the adjustable coil could improve the transmission efficiency of the WPT system. Finally, a prototype of WPT system was built. Results: The experimental results showed that WPT system with adjustable coil can improve the transmission efficiency which proves the theoretical research. At the same time, it has essential reference value for the future research of WPT. Conclusion: In this paper, aiming at the system detuning caused by some other factors, such as the position shift of the load during the wireless power transmission, an adjustable coil is proposed.
