This paper presents performance evaluation of Single Sided Linear Induction Machine (SLIM) using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based CAD package MagNet 6.13. Flux linkage, co-energy, torque characteristics are obtained for various geometrical structures that predominantly influence the performance of LIM propelled systems. Based on the analysis of these results, analytical justiflcations for the performance improvement through geometric alternations in the air gap, material variation, secondary thickness, have been made.
