Linear Induction Drives

by Jacek F. Gieras

Overview

This comprehensive review of linear induction drives provides an in-depth examination of their design, construction, and practical applications. Both state-of-the-art computer aided design methods and practical estimation methods for main dimensions and performance calculations are presented so that engineers can generate accurate designs as well as test their preliminary ideas. Practical problems discussed include those relating to variable-speed linear drives, power conditioning, and control methods. Testing techniques are also outlined. The book is addressed particularly to electrical engineers involved in the design and construction of linear induction drives. It will also be of value to mechanical engineers and students of electrical machine engineering.
