Change of Equivalent Circuit Parameters and Performance Characteristics of Single-sided LIMs with Various Secondary Conducting Plates

摘要

This paper describes the equations for calculation of the equivalent secondary resistance and the equivalent secondary reactance referred to the primary of single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) and shows the change of those equivalent circuit parameters and the operating characteristics with various secondary conducting plates. Usually, a composite conductor slab which is consisted of am aluminum plate backed with a solid steel plate is used.
