Thermal study of induction machine using Motor-CAD

The paper presents thermal studies of three-phase induction motor during steady-state and transient regimes using Motor-CAD environment. The graphical interfaces for data input (motor geometry, materials properties) are also shown. The supposed duty cycles are S1, S2, and S3 (continuous, short-time and intermittent periodic duty respectively). As output data the temperatures for various motor parts (housing, stator windings, squirrel-cage rotor windings) are obtained.
