Effects of Linear Induction Motor Parameters in Its Optimum Design Based on Finite Element Method

Abstract

Effective parameters in performance of linear induction motors such asair gap, number of poles and the thickness of secondary must be selected and optimized to increase power coefficients and motor performance significantly. In this paper a double sided linear induction motor in different conditions is designed and next by finite element method analyzed. Then for comparing analytical model and numerical model a linear motor using Matlab software is simulated in different condition. It is clear from the results that with optimal value of effective parameters, power losses decreased the performance of motor is improved and efficiency of linear motor is increased.
