Abstract

Summary

Linear Induction Motor (LIM) instead of producing rotary torque from a rotary machine produces linear force
from flat one. To optimize the LIM, this paper looks at the construction features and fundamental equations of
the LIM. Also presented are the inherent problems associated with LIMs, such as the Longitudinal End Effect
(LEE), Edge Effects (EE) and other associated setbacks and then proposes how they could be minimized at the
design stage through proper planning or optimizing the existing model using adequate interactive and iterative
software programmes. Other LIM parameters presented and discussed are the objective functions for such
designs and optimization form various works.
