The paper proposes the characteristics analysis for a Transverse flux type Switched Reluctance Motor(TSRM) considering the nonlinear magnetic phenomena. To investigate the nonlinear parameters of magnetic equivalent circuit, the designed TSRM is analyzed by the 2D and 3D finite element method as functions of input current and angular displacement. On the base of FEM analysis results, the current, torque, back EMF and output power wave of TSRM are simulated from the motion equation by MATLAB/Simulink. The simulated performance characteristics for a 4-phase, 24-pole TSRM are verified by experimental results of a prototype TSRM.

A transverse flux linear induction motor is studied to assess the feasibility of its application in urban transportation and conveyor and so on. To analyze the TFLIM with E-type, the flux density, thrust and normal force is computed by using an analytical method and 2-D finite element method. TFLIM which the rated thrust is 50[N] is designed and experimented.

In the System-integrated modular advanced reactor(SMART), the motor for Control element drive mechanism(CEDM) requires high density power and simple drive mechanism to reduce volume because of restriction by install-space and must satisfy the reactor operating circumstances with high pressure and temperature. To Maximize the characteristics of the TFM, we chose the asymmetric bridge converter as the driving system for TFM. Because two switching devices are connected in series with the stator winding of each phases in the asymmetric bridge converter all the phases are not affected by another phase but controlled independently. Also, this converter has many advantages that the various control methods can be adopted, it is easy to control, and that in case that the switching devices of a phase are damaged, the affects can be minimized.

This paper deals with 2D and 3D analyses by finite element method for the characteristics of reluctance type transverse flux linear motor. Although 3D analysis is essential because of the characteristics by flux direction. 2D analyses are also used by considering the effective axial length and using the equivalent reluctance 2D model. The thrust, the normal force and the coenergy of the machine are calculated and compared by the results of the three analysis methods.

The design and analysis of electrical machines often require analytical models for performance assessment and system simulation. Inductances are important parameters of these models. In this paper, the methods of calculating apparent and incremental inductances are introduced for a transverse flux linear motor, which has a peculiar coil shape. The computation is accomplished by nonlinear three dimensional finite element method(FEM) and equivalent magnetic circuit network(EMCN). The improved method has been verified by a test result.

The magnetically levitated system technology is highly expected to contribute the new transportation system of the 21st century with its high velocity operation, better riding comforts, friendliness to environment and saving of maintenance labour. Its development has been completed in low speed and in high speed application. In 2005, the Transrapid with 430 km/h speed will go into operation between Berlin and Hamburg[1]. In the year 2000, the realization of JR-Maglev will be basically evaluated for commercial operation[2]. In korea, maglev test vehicle with magnet for levitation and single sided linear induction motor for propulsion is under test at 1 [km] test track in KIMM.[3,4] Here, a transverse flux linear motor in combination with the levitation and the guidance leads to a considerable high power density and high efficiency simultaneously. The designed and measured performance of transverse flux linear motor for maglev system revealed a great potential of system mass reduction.
