Taking a 315kW, 6kV permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with solid rotor as an example, the physical and mathematical models of PMSM three dimensional temperature fields analysis are established according to the heat transfer principles. The basic hypothesis and boundary value problems of the solving region in the motor are also presented. The 3-D temperature field in stator of PMSM was calculated, and the influences of heat transfer coefficients with consideration of the axial wind or not on stator temperature were analyzed. By comparing the test results with the calculated results, the influences of axial wind on motor temperature were investigated. These conclusions provide a reference for thermal design of the motor with co-axial fan and enclosure cooling fan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
