Abstract :
Heat transfer is a critical aspect related to the electrical machine design, as important as several aspects of the electromagnetic considerations. Thus, a generalized model concerning heat transfer in electrical machines is proposed, and a case study related to the calculation of thermal constants and current ratings of a linear reluctance machine is also presented in this paper.
