PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIABLE SPEED LINEAR SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR

The analysis of a single-sided moving magnet variable speed linear synchronous motor (LSM) is considered in this paper. A single-phase equivalent circuit similar to that of a conventional synchronous machine is the starting point in the analysis. The effect of the removal of ferromagnetic material from the magnetic circuit of the machine on its performance is examined. Performance characteristics of the LSM when the power supply has voltage and current control are determined.
