Abstract

The application of symmetrical components of two-phase asymmetric systems, field theory, and finite element method (FEM) to the performance calculation of the shaded-pole linear induction motor (LIM) is presented. The results compared with measurements are satisfactory though the performance of the shaded-pole single-phase LIM is poor when compared to three-phase LIMs. LIMs generally have low efficiencies due to their open airgap. The maximum efficiency of rotary shaded-pole induction motors with cage-rotors rated at 100 W usually does not exceed 20%.
