Abstract :
A new suspension and guidance configuration for a high speed, electrodynamic suspension (EDS) maglev system is discussed. The configuration can also be used to develop an electromagnetic guideway directional switch. The performance of the system is predicted using the dynamic circuit model. General expressions of the magnetic forces based on the harmonic approximation are obtained. The principle of the electromagnetic guideway directional switch for the EDS maglev system is discussed
