Requirements of High Speed Transit System

More Efficient Use of Time

Reduced Congestion

Enormous energy savings

4

Reduced Dependence on Foreign OilReduced Dependence on Foreign Oil

Safer than Driving

No Noise

Reduces Air pollution

Need of Linear Motors

Linear Motors adapt to both people movers and industrial transport uses

Tubular LIMs for short travel (less than 1 m) can be built for robotic applications

Industrial applications such as food processing, laser cutting machines, PCB assembly….

Short stroke linear oscillatory motors are in commercial use as gas-compressor drives, or IC

engine-driven linear generators

5

Suitability of LSRM for Railway System

High starting torque

Simple construction make it an attractive alternate to AC and DC motors

High performance even in harsh environment

Power density is high

High acceleration

It requires only unidirectional current for its four-quadrant operation so number of power switches can be reduced

6

Advantages of LSRM over Induction Motor

High starting torque

Windings are on the stator only

Lowest moment of inertia

Low heat loss

No cogging and crawling

Electrical fault in one phase does not affect other phases

7

Torque ripple is high

More acoustic noise

Rotor position is required to control the SRM
