CALCULATION OF PITCH TORQUE FOR AN ARC-TYPE LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR

Abstract An adaptation of Parseval's theorem is used to compute the pitch torque produced in an arc-type single-sided linear induction motor, directly from the Fourier transforms of the air gap magnetic field components. Results predicted through this approach are shown to agree favourably with measurements made on a 2-m diameter test wheel facility.
