The on-field application of a measurement test set for the characterization of electrical drives for linear motion

In this paper an automatic test set, which allows electrical drives based on the Linear Induction Motor (LIM) to be characterized, is proposed. It allows one to measure the main electrical and mechanical quantities, also not directly accessible, such as air-gap flux density, thrust and current density in the secondary sheet. The work is completed with experimental results connected to the use of the proposed measuring system on a double-sided LIM prototype.<
