Analytical and experimental study of electromagnetic loss and temperature rise in induction machines

Abstract

This paper focuses on electromagnetic and loss analyses of an induction machine using the subdomain method. The proposed method derives an analytical solution for each subdomain using electromagnetic theory. On the basis of the derived analytical solution, electromagnetic performances are calculated and copper loss, iron loss, and rotor loss are derived. The validity of the proposed method was verified by comparing the analysis and loss analysis results with the finite element analysis results. In particular, the loss analysis results were input into an equivalent thermal analysis model, thermal analysis was performed, and the results were compared with those measured in the actual model. The reliability of the proposed method was verified through analysis and experimental results.
