Abstract

The aim of the method detailed in this paper is to get an equivalent thermal model of a stator slot, in order to simplify the calculation of desired temperatures in an electrical machine winding. This study is divided in two steps: First, the equivalent thermal conductivity is deduced from a homogenization of the winding, and next, a discretization is achieved using the finite integration technique considering transient analysis. In order to evaluate the method, results from the equivalent model are compared with finite element simulations considering two slot geometries.
