This paper presents the single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) developed as electrical drives for magnetic levitation vehicle with a cruising speed 40--100Km/h for EXPO`93 in Taejon, Korea. The SLIM is designed to produce a 2,440 Newtons thrust from an active area of 2,836mm long by 235 mm wide at the airgap of 14 mm. In order to investigate its performance characteristics both experimentally and theoretically, the static test facilities was designed and equipped. At standstill, the experimental results are compared with the analytical ones.
