Abstract
Computational fluid-dynamics modeling has been used to investigate the cooling of the end region of a two-pole strip-wound totally enclosed fan-cooled induction motor. The modeling is validated by experimental measurements. The changes in airflow and heat transfer that each configuration gives are discussed, and recommendations are made of features that can be used to achieve lower convective thermal resistance in the end region.
