POSSIBILITIES OF APPLYING A LINEAR TRACTION MOTOR IN HIGH-SPEED TRANSPORT

MOEGLICHKEITEN DER ANWENDUNG EINES LINEARMOTORS FUER DEN SCHENLLTRANSPORT

For many years the linear asynchronous motor with a reaction rail placed along the track has been regarded as the railroad traction motor of the future to be used in high-speed cars of a new type as the most essential drive. This possibility of using the linear motor has been somewhat overestimated. As this paper shows, there exists a speed limit above which the use of this kind of linear motor becomes uneconomic due to somewhat low efficiency and performance factors or even impossible due to too low a traction power.
