Development of Optimum Double Sided Linear Induction Motor for Military Application

Rotary Induction Motors are the preferred choice for the Military application due to their advantages such as maintenance free, ruggedness & reliability which are equally applicable to Linear Induction Motors also. Among various configurations of Linear Induction Motors, Double Sided Linear Motor with primary moving and secondary static is best suitable for launching of few kg. Payloads such as Unmanned Aviation Vehicles to make it more effective in terms of input power requirements, volume, weight and cost. In this paper Design, Simulation and Development of 95 kW Double Sided Linear Induction Motor is presented for launching of 100 kg. payload. Simulation studies have been carried out for the designed motor in MAXWELL software.
