Numerical analysis for the influence of the construction of the secondary reaction plate on the characteristics of linear induction motor

In Linear Induction Motor for rail-guided transportation, to meet the demand for reducing transverse edge-effect and correspond to the end ring of rotary induction motor, various types of the construction of secondary reaction plate have been considered. In order to demonstrate the characteristics of each model, this paper describes the fundamental mathematical formulation of the simplified field calculation as well as the simulation results through 3-dimensional numerical analysis.
