Download or read book Linear Induction Drives written by Jacek F. Gieras and published by Monographs in Electrical and E. This book was released on 1994 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive review of linear induction drives provides an in-depth examination of their design, construction, and practical applications. Both state-of-the-art computer aided design methods and practical estimation methods for main dimensions and performance calculations are presented so that engineers can generate accurate designs as well as test their preliminary ideas. Practical problems discussed include those relating to variable-speed linear drives, power conditioning, and control methods. Testing techniques are also outlined. The book is addressed particularly to electrical engineers involved in the design and construction of linear induction drives. It will also be of value to mechanical engineers and students of electrical machine engineering.
