An observer for temperature estimation in electrical machine is introduced, based on a thermal model implemented in a microcomputer. Only measurement of current, voltage, speed and temperature at an easy accessible spot is required. The experimental results are shown for three different machine types, a dc disk motor 1 kW, a dc rolling mill motor 3500kW and a squirrel cage induction motor 18.5 kW.
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.
