Short-armature self-excitation type linear synchronous motor for transport system

In the previous paper, we proposed a long-armature type novel linear synchronous motor with half-wave rectified self excitation. The field winding was short circuited with a diode and the armature winding was usual 3-phase windings. This paper presents a short-armature type novel linear synchronous motor applicable for a transport system. Compensated short pitch windings are proposed for the armature windings in order to decrease end effect.
