Contents

A single sided linear induction motor with finite length of the primary is considered. Calculations of magnetic flux density, secondary current, forces and power losses in two layers of a secondary are based on Fourier's series method. Variation of magnetic flux density across an air-gap and finite values of permeability and conductivity of the secondary back iron were taken into account in the computational model. Calculations were compared with test results.

Übersicht

Es wird ein einseitiger linearer Induktionsmotor bei Berücksichtigung endlicher Strombelaglänge betrachtet. magnetische Induktion, Strom-, Kraft-und Verlustdichte in zwei Schichten des Sekundärteiles wurden auf Grund der Methode harmonischer Fourierreihen berechnet. Im rechnerischen Modell wurde die Änderung der magnetischen Induktion im Spalt und der endliche Wert der magnetischen Induktion im Spalt und der endliche Wert der magnetischen Permeabilität sowie der Leitfähigkeit von Eisen im Sekundärteil berücksichtigt. Die Berechnungen wurden mit Ergebnissen experimenteller Untersuchungen verglichen.
