Abstract :
A circle diagram is described for an idealised linear induction motor operating under constant-current conditions, with an iron-backed or air-backed conducting-sheet rotor. The diagram yields a great deal of information about the performance of the machine, including normal force. Simplified expressions are derived relating complex input power, thrust and normal force. The theory is compared with the experimental results obtained from static-impedance tests on a linear induction motor.
