Linear Electric Machines, Drives, and MAGLEVs Handbook : CRC Press : 9781138076334 : 1138076333 : 21 Apr 2017 : Based on author Ion Boldea's 40 years of experience and the latest research, Linear Electric Machines, Drives, and Maglevs Handbook provides a practical and comprehensive resource on the steady improvement in this field. The book presents in-depth reviews of basic concepts and detailed explorations of complex subjects, including classifications and practical topologies, with sample results based on an up-to-date survey of the field. Packed with case studies, this state-of-the-art handbook covers topics such as modeling, steady state, and transients as well as control, design, and testing of linear machines and drives. It includes discussion of types and applications?from small compressors for refrigerators to MAGLEV transportation?of linear electric machines. Additional topics include low and high speed linear induction or synchronous motors, with and without PMs, with progr
