The end leakage inductance is an important component in the primary leakage inductance of the equivalent circuit. In order to calculate the end leakage inductance of a toroidal winding double‐sided linear induction motor (TW‐DSLIM) accurately and quickly, the role of ferromagnetic medium is equated by the method of images, the magnetic flux density in the end space is calculated according to the current density of the rectangular coil, end leakage inductance is obtained by calculating the end leakage magnetic energy, the impact of end leakage inductance on the performance of TW‐DSLIM is investigated, and finally the TW‐DSLIM model is established in finite element analysis to verify the effectiveness of the analytical method.
