T. Koseki et al., INVESTIGATION OF SECONDARY SLOT PITCHES OF A CAGE-TYPE LINEAR INDUCTION-MOTOR, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 29(6), 1993, pp. 2944-2946
Experimental and numerical studies are being conducted on linear induc
tion motors with cage-type rails in an effort to improve their motor c
haracteristics to facilitate application of these motors to a new unde
rground freight transport system. The framework of the study, based on
the electric vector-potential formulation, is a visual representation
of the secondary eddy-current path as well as gap-flux distribution f
or assisting the motor designer.
