Abstract :
The purpose of this paper consists in the characterization of the traction force for a new linear switched reluctance machine (LSRM) for low speed light electric traction applications. In this work the machine is tested, for each position, at standstill. The experimental methodology allows the determination of the magnetization characteristics as well as the static mechanical resistant force.
