Abstract :In the performance calculations of single-sided linear induction motor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SLIM);,the equivalent circuit technique insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ECT); is used. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for obtaining the secondary impedance of single-sided linear induction motor insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SLIM); with a double layer reaction rail by using the layered secondary model. The proposed method improves the ECT technique by considering the saturation effect and the non-linear complex equivalent relative permeability. This study also examines the contributions of other electromagnetic effects, such as longitudinal end effect and transverse edge effect as well. Our method is applied to the SLIM and computed results of the method are compared to the experimental results of the previous studies. This evaluation proved that the outcomes of the proposed method are in accordance with the experimental results widely studied in the literature.
