NUMERICAL CALCULATION OF LINEAR INDUCTION MACHINES

A numerical method for the calculation of linear induction machines based on the alternating direction implicit iteration method is described. The method was applied to the calculation of the performance of an experimental linear machine, and the results are discussed and compared to the measured data. The boundary value problem is defined and solved by taking into account the geometrical and physical reality of the machine cross section. The results enable the determination of overall field distribution including the stray and fringing fields inside and outside the machine, and hence the calculation of the machine's impedances and power.
