Abstract :
This paper has reported the fabrication and development of a novel flux-concentration type linear induction motor (LIM) based on the effect of flux concentration by eddy currents. In the developed LIM, the leakage flux between the yokes is reduced and as a result more flux is concentrated into the air gap. It is observed from the calculated results using equivalent circuit parameters and the experimental results that the flux-concentration type LIM (FCLIM) has better thrust-characteristics compared to that of normal type tubular LIM
