摘要:
To design a reliable and economical induction motor, it is necessary to be able to predict accurately the temperature distribution within the motor. In this paper, a 3D thermal model of an induction motor is presented. Except for providing a more accurate representation of the problem, the proposed model can also reduce computer memory and time. The finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the three dimensional (3D) heat flow equation which describes the thermal model. Galerkin's procedure is used to derive the element equations and first order tetrahedral elements are used to discretize the field region. Galerkin's time‐stepping scheme is employed to treat time differential terms. Values of surface heat transfer coefficients are obtained from the empirical formula and heat losses are revised by the factory test. Application of the proposed method to the analysis of a 9,000 HP induction motor yields temperature distribution very close to the experimental data.
