END-EFFECT OF HIGH SPEED LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR

THIS PAPER PRESENTS A NEW THEORY OF THE END-EFFECT, (THE EFFECT OF SHORTNESS OF STATOR LENGTH) OF A HIGH-SPEED LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR, AN EXPERIMENTAL PROOF OF THE THEORY, AND SEVERAL COUNTERMEASURES TO ELIMINATE THE END-EFFECT. THE THEORY IS DEVELOPED ON THE BASIS OF A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOLUTION OF ELECTRODYNAMIC EQUATIONS AND COMPARED WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS. THE EXPERIMENT HAS BEEN MADE BY USE OF A ROTARY TYPE TEST FACILITY; THE MAXIMUM TEST FACILITY; THE MAXIMUM TEST VELOCITY IS 450 KM/H. IT IS FOUND THAT THE THEORY AGREES WELL WITH THE EXPERIMENT AND THAT THE END-EFFECT EXERCISES A VERY ADVERSE INFLUENCE ON MOTOR PERFORMANCE. A PARALLEL-CONNECTED LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR IS PROPOSED AS A MEASURE TO COMPENSATE THE END-EFFECT, AND ITS PERFORMANCE IS STUDIED. /DOT/
