Calculation of Spectrum Characteristics for Braking Modes of Linear Induction Motors

The purpose of the wok is to derive analytical expressions of spectral characteristics at electrical braking of linear induction motor with diverse number of poles as well as to provide results of calculations. The major task in the analysis of braking modes is to determine spectral characteristics of braking current, primary magnetic field and braking force. To this aim Maxwell equations were solved together with Fourier and Laplace integral transformations. The obtained results indicate that in addition to the main component of the magnetic field, when the space frequency is , in the process of braking there appears continuous spectrum of elementary components with the frequencies occupying the infinite sector from - to + . Due to that fact, during the process of energy conversion at the moment of braking, there participate positive – sequence, negative – sequence components and elementary components of the continuous spectrum, motionless in the space.
