A Modified Dynamic Model of Single-Sided Linear Induction Motors Considering Longitudinal and Transversal Effects

This paper proposes a modified dynamic equivalent circuit model for linear induction motor considering both longitudinal end effect and transverse edge effect. The (speed-dependent effect) is based on conventional Duncan’s approach. investigated by using three correction factors applied to the secondary resistance magnetizing inductance. Moreover, iron saturation effect, skin air-gap leakage are incorporated into proposed field-analysis method. A new topology of steady-state space-vector induction, regarding all mentioned phenomena, presented. parameters this calculated field analysis finite-element performance first validated Additionally, studied. results prove that can precisely predict performances induction.
