Abstract :
The trapezoidally railed linear synchronous motor provides a combined lift and thrust for Maglev vehicles. Its magnet is U-shaped with split poles surrounded by inverter-fed coils distorting field among the four. Modified from zig-zag, its rail is trapezoidal and will propel to minimize reluctance. This paper obtains in theory the inductance of the new version compared to the old one for inverter design
