The levitation electromagnets of EMS(Electromagnetic Suspension) maglev trains are made of ferromagnetic materials, and hysteresis is an inherent property of these materials. Under large gap fluctuation (≥4mm), the input DC current experiences significant interference, affecting the stability and safety of vehicle operation and control due to the levitation electromagnet hysteresis effect.. To study this hysteresis effect under large gap fluctuation, firstly, the hysteresis mathematical model of the levitation electromagnet is established based on the Jiles-Atherton Hysteresis Theory. Secondly, the voltage equation and electromagnetic force equation of a single electromagnet under the hysteresis effect are derived based on the equivalent magnetic circuit method. Finally, a Simulink model of the levitation electromagnet is established, and the levitation electromagnet hysteresis effect on the dynamic performance of EMS maglev train under various excitations with large gap fluctuation (≥4mm) is analyzed. The results show that: 1) Under large gap fluctuation, the magnetic flux density of the levitation electromagnets only moves within the upper region of the limit hysteresis loop, which is irregular and causes strong noise interference at both peak and valley accelerations; 2) under the hysteresis effect, when the external excitation amplitude remains constant, the vibration of the levitation electromagnet intensifies with increasing excitation frequency; 3) When the vibration acceleration of the levitation electromagnet is greater than 2.5 m/s2, the fluctuation of magnetic flux density is drastic and there is a significant instantaneous mutation.
