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.

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.

This paper proposes a novel method with pseudo-on-line scheme using look-up table based on the genetic algorithm. The technique is a pseudo-on-line method that optimally estimate the parameters of fuzzy PID(FPID) controller for systems with non-linearity using the genetic algorithm which does not use the gradient and finds the global optimum of an un-constraint optimization problem. The proposed controller(GFPID) is applied to speed control of 3-phase induction motor and its computer simulation is carried out. Simulation results show that the proposed method is more excellent than conventional FPID and PID controllers.

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.

Linear Induction Motor is driven by inverter for speed control. Inverter contains many harmonics that was generated when the circuits is switching for a energy conversion. This harmonics is injurious, and harmful on the operational efficiency of motors. In this paper, it is certified the efficiency and power factor of LIMs and inverters in consideration with harmonics.

In this paper, we proposes an adaptive flux observer to estimate initial values of rotor fluxes and unknown rotor resistance. The error system between the model of induction motor and a proposed observer is devided as a fast subsystem and a slow one by a singular perturbation system. The fast subsystem is exponentially convergent on a boundary-layer. And the overall error system is reduced to a quasi-steady-state system. The adaptive law for an unknown rotor resistance is designed to stabilize the approximate error system. As computer simulation results show, the proposed adaptive flux observer estimates fast initial values of rotor fluxes and unknown rotor resistance.

This paper presents how to design speed control of wound rotor induction motors with slip energy recovery. The speed is limited at some range of sub-synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field. The problem with speed control by adjusting resistance value in the rotor circuit reduces the efficiency of power, because of the slip energy is lost when it passes through the rotor resistance. The control system is designed to maintain efficiency of motor, where it recovers loss energy by returning it to the system to improve the efficiency. A new PI control method of adaptive control [1］,［13］is applied for the system with cascade type PI controller on the main loop to keep the speed constant and the internal loop to adjust the rotor appropriated current of the load provides the good transient response without overshoot.

Linear induction motors are characterized by a large air gap and, as a result, large leakage inductances. Moreover, due to its unslotted structure and the absence of end rings in the secondary part, the equivalent circuit parameter calculation is very difficult. Therefore this paper introduces the new method of equivalent circuit parameter and analyzes dynamics characteristic of single-sided LIM

This paper presents a simple electronic starter for single phase induction motor (SPIM). It replaces the centrifugal switch in the auxiliary winding circuit of the capacitor start type SPIM. The centrifugal switch disconnects the auxiliary winding when the motor gets close to its rated speed. The presence of the centrifugal switch, with its possibly fluttering contacts, reduce reliability of SPIM. The operation principle of the proposed electronic starter is explained, and illustrated with experimental results.

This test was performed to assess the insulation deterioration condition of the stator winding of 3.3kV class induction motors which have been in service for 15 years after being installed in 1988. The insulation diagnostic tests include resistance, polarization index(P.I). dissipation factor(${\Delta}tan{\delta}$) and maximum partial discharges(Qmax). The results of diagnostic tests were compared to the visual inspection in overhaul.
