 Abstract   The single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) drive is studied for application to the railway traction, especially for the maglev transport. Its characteristics against the operation of a vehicle is analysed, where a voltage-source inverter is assumed to supply the controlled current to the motors. The drive system for the HSST EXPO'85 maglev vehicle is studied in details. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data obtained during its test operations. Calculated characteristics are verified with measured data. The dynamic interaction between SLIM' s and the electromagnetic suspension system (EMS) is also evaluated. The constant slip frequency control scheme can reduce the effects of the normal force caused by SLIM's, but the value of the slip frequency should be chosen in relation with the extent of dynamic interference and energy efficiency of the system. The thrust ripple generated by the harmonics in the stator current has influence on the dynamic behaviour of the EMS system and should be considered in the wave form control of the inverter.
