This paper presents the characteristics analysis of a single-sided linear induction motor with secondary molten metals. The characteristics of a linear induction motor are analysed by the equivalent circuit method considering the end effects. For the verification of the analysis method, the locked test and load test with molten tin were made. The test results of locked test were compared with the simulations, and the velocity of the load test with molten tin showed 0.24[m/s] with air gap 30[mm] which is sufficient for transferring molten tin.
