Abstract

This paper describes the constructive form of a linear induction motor applied to the traction of MagLev-Cobra levitation vehicle and the required control to a secure and economic driving. Moreover, issues about linear induction motor intrinsic features, such as traction force and current, are presented. The linear induction motor (Patent No PI 1103525-0) was tested in various operating conditions. The results contribute to its improvement and to delineate its applicability, not only in MagLev Cobra, as in other vehicles types and industrial applications.
