The manufacturers must optimize the product to be competitive, while the user must be sure about the motor insulation class limit. The most accepted condition to measure temperature rise in induction motors is under full load. This condition is advantageous because it simulates real life operation on field. However, this requires for dynamometers and sources of same or sometimes greater power than the rated power of machine under test. Besides the coupling of high power, high speed or vertical machines can consume considerable time and investment. In these cases it is necessary to use alternative methods to measure the electrical machine temperature. In these methods the load torque applied by the dynamometer is smaller than the motor nominal torque or even no load torque is applied. In this paper we will present a comparison between the most common induction machines temperature rise methods.","PeriodicalId":416125,"journal":{"name":"2008 18th International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132897082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This structure needs specific approaches to plan its electrical and mechanical behaviors and to identify the parameters needed for control purpose. At first, a finite element method (FEM) modeling of the machine is presented. It is used for the predetermination of the electromotive forces and of the torque.

Minimizing the choke's volume and mass is desirable in many applications. The main limit of an electromagnetic design lies in its thermal performance. Accurate prediction of the temperature within a new device is therefore very desirable. This paper presents a thermal analysis of a high energy density pre-biased choke. The thermal analysis is carried out using a finite element method (FEM) and a thermal lumped parameter network. The high energy density equal to 0.49 J/kg is demonstrated as a result of improved thermal management and permanent magnet biasing. The theoretical findings for the high energy density choke are compared against a conventionally built choke and test results are obtained from a prototype choke.","PeriodicalId":416125,"journal":{"name":"2008 18th International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125400837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
