Abstract

Thermal design of 6-phase fractional-slot Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) machine having a novel topology of 18-slot, 8pole is presented using 2-D electromagnetic finite element analysis (FEA) and lumped parameter thermal model. The paper describes the approach to calibrate loss models, and to validate thermal model using the experimental tests. It discusses the thermal challenges imposed by the operating conditions and the driving cycles on the motor components.
