A Study on the Optimal Design of Linear Motor with Transverse Flux Configuration for Railway Traction System

철도 차량용 고출력 횡축형 전동기 최적설계에 관한 연구

According to the development of power electronic element(GTO. IGBT) and material for electrical machines(permanent magnet. super conductor), the technology for electrical machines is now a day rapidly developing. Here with, a novel electrical machine, based on the new conception of transverse flux configuration leads to a considerable increase in power density and enables simultaneously high efficiency. The transverse flux machine with PM excitation will be applied to gearless direct drives for railway traction system. The designed and measured performance of transverse machine for railway traction system revealed a great potential of system improvements to reduce linear motor mass.
