The equivalent circuit of linear induction motor is generally expressed as the same that of rotary induction motor. However, it is almost impossible to perform the no-load test for LIM, because it needs a special equipment for synchronous speed. Therefore, a new method is reqnired to calculate the performance of the LIM without the no-load test. In this paper, The new method which does not need no-load test for the chanracteristics analysis of LIM is proposed. The equivalent circuit of LIM is chosen and the method if determining its constants from results of the lock test is discussed. The calculated results were satisfied by compare with experimental and conventional method results.

Linear Induction Motors (LIMs) with the long secondary conductor often have joints between the segmented secondary, which are specially used for magnetically levitated high-speed vehicle and elevators. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of the LIM with joints in the secondary are investigated using the time-stepping finite element analysis. It is supposed that both aluminium conductor and back-iron have joint in the active zone during the analysis. As a result, thrust and normal force ripple which have effects on the motor dynamics and vibration are examined.

This paper presents a parameter identification method to estimate the stator resistance. stator inductance, rotor resistance and rotor inductance of the induction motor. A step voltage is applied across the stator terminals while the machine is in the standstill condition, and the resulting stator voltage and current response are measured. Observer/Kalman Filter Identification(OKID) algorithm is used to estimate induction motor parameters. Simulation results are presented to verify the identified model.

Linear induction motors have static and dynamic end effects due to its finite core length, so that per-phase impedances are asymmetric and the air gap flux distribution is distorted. Because of these points the d-q equivalent circuit model considering both end effects has not been exactly completed. So this paper proposes a characteristic analysis method considering both static and dynamic end effect of the LIM. This method is to utilize asymmetric d-q equivalent circuit model with dynamic end effect coefficient. As a result, it is shown that the simulation results have a good agreement with experimental ones.

A squirrel cage canned induction motor for the main coolant pump of the integral reactor, SMART was designed, manufactured and tested. The motor was first designed using the equivalent circuit theory to determine major dimensions and then finalized through finite element analyses for electromagnetic and thermal characteristics. In order to verify the design methodology, a reduced scale canned induction motor was manufactured and tested. The experimental results have shown a good agreement with the analysis results.

This paper presents a method for determining of the equivalent d-q model parameters of three-phase squirrel cage induction motors. The method is based on the use of a finite-element field calculation which enables the precise slot geometry to be modelled accurately, and includes the effects of magnetic saturation of iron core. The proposed method can reduce computational costs compared with the method that needs the iterative field analysis to obtain the impedance. It is verified that the circuit inductances are shown as functions of the current.

An easier implementation method of the field oriented control of induction machine using Matlab/Simulink dSpace board is proposed in this paper. Space Vector PWM and Indirect Fied Oriented Control Algorithm is designed for the help of Simulink. And this system is simultaneously simulated and experimented in Matlab/Simulink environment with dSpace borad (DS1102). It is possible that Matlab and dSpace board compiler can make $'^*.c'$ and $'^*.obj'$ file of models designed in Matlab/Simulink environment automatically. Experimental results are given.

The torque characteristic of an induction motor is affected greatly by the slot shape at which the conductors of the rotor are located. In this paper, the three analysis model; general type, deep slot type, double squirrel-cage type, of which the slot shapes are different, were analyzed by FEM at no load, at rated load, and at standstill respectively. The flux distribution and air-gap flux density were also obtained. From the above result, it was confirmed that the analysis models of deep slot and double squirrel-cage had more desirable characteristics than those of general squirrel-cage.
