Thermal Analysis of Electric Machines
Motor-CAD

Brief Look at MotorCAD
geometry input using dedicated editors
select materials, cooling options
All difficult heat transfer data calculated automatically
lumped circuit solved to calculate steady-state and transient performance

Thermal Network Analysissimilar to electrical network
thermal resistances rather than electrical resistances
power sources rather than current sources (losses)
thermal capacitances rather than electrical capacitors
nodal temperatures rather than voltages
power flow through resistances rather than current
In Motor-CAD the thermal network is automatically set up based on the motor geometry and cooling type selected

Cooling TypesMotor-CAD includes proven models for an extensive range of cooling types Natural Convection (TENV)
• many housing design types Forced Convection – (TEFC)
• many fin channel design types Through Ventilation
• rotor and stator cooling ducts Open end-shield cooling Water Jackets
• many design types (axial and circumferential ducts)• stator and rotor water jackets
Submersible cooling Wet Rotor & Wet Stator cooling Spray Cooling Direct conductor cooling
• Slot water jacket Conduction
• Internal conduction and the effects of mounting Radiation
• Internal and external

Housing Types
Many housing designs can be modeled and optimized
the designer selected a housing type that is appropriate for the cooling type to be used and then optimizes the dimensions, e.g. axial fin dimensions and spacing for a TEFC machine

Radial & Axial Cross-Section Editors
• Geometry is described using the dedicated radial & axial cross-section editors
– input the dimensions of the design under consideration
– both the radial and axial cross-section are defined because end effects such as gaps around the end winding can have a significant impact on cooling
• The editors provides visual feedback
– reduced incidence of input errors
– insight into importance of heat transfer paths
17
Ease of Inputs
Drop down selection editors for geometric options magnet shape, bar shape, slot
types, etc.
Numeric editor for dimensions long parameter names help
identify parameter meaning, e.g. Slot Number
Help describing the parameter being pointed at give on status line
press F1 for more detailed help
Components are colour coded to Schematic Network diagram
import from SPEED software

Winding Input• layered winding model used to:
– automatically calculate a set of thermal resistances from slot wall to winding hot-spot
– give visualization of the proportion of components in the slot (liner, copper, enamel, impregnation)
• models for overlapping or non-overlapping (bobbin) type end-windings
• slot fill or conductors per slot input options
• end winding fill or MLT input options• conductor size input or selected from
a wire table• able to easily model impregnation
goodness and its effect on temperature rise
• data can be imported from SPEED
19
Select the Cooling Method
Extensive range of cooling options availableThe heat transfer and flow network circuits are set up automatically based on the selection of cooling types usedThe most appropriate algorithm used to calculate convection heat transfer & pressure drops are set up automatically in the Motor-CAD calculation
benefits from the extensive research on convection & flow analysis correlations done previously by Motor Design Ltd

LossesLosses are input for the following:
copper iron windage bearings etc
Accuracy of temperature prediction depends on accuracy of loss prediction
Losses can be imported directly from SPEED software or come from FEA or test data
Algorithms built into Motor-CAD to model loss variation with temperature, speed and load
21
Material Thermal PropertiesThe user can input a components material thermal data directly (thermal
conductivity, specific heat and density) or select a material from the built in database
The materials weight is calculated and used in thermal transient calculations• Adjustments can be made to weights if required, i.e. to account for terminal
boxes, etc.

Material Database
add new materials to the existing material database
23
Used to investigate the effect of interface gaps between components on thermal performance
modeled as an effective airgap so giving physical insight to the userdefault settings are for a typical industrial machineextensive testing has been done to set the default values for parameters in Motor-CAD
Using sensitivity analysis we can quickly and easily quantify the effect of manufacturing options and tolerances on the thermal performance
Interface GapsInterface between two components with microscopic rough surfaces

24
Through Ventilation ModelBoth the heat transfer and flow network analysis circuits are automatically set up and calculated for a through ventilated machineThe user has several options for defining the air flow paths
– range of stator and rotor ducting designs
25
Motor Mounting
Mounting can have a significant impact on thermal behavior35% - 50% of total loss can be dissipated through the flange in servo motor designsNEMA rating test method for flange/foot mounted motors allow the motor to be attached
to a plate these can be modeled in Motor-CAD
The mounting can also be modeled using a fixed temperature of a component or an amount of power input at a node

Schematic Diagramcolour-coded to cross section editorsoptions to display
Resistance :• Label• Resistance value• Power Flow• Temp Difference
Node :• Label• Temperature value• Capacitance value
most nodes have more than one resistance between them
e.g. stator back iron thickness + interface gap + housing thickness
component values shown to help identify main cooling constraints
schematic show final results of a thermal calculation
In this example we see that the main component of resistance between housing and stator back iron is due to the effective interface gap
28
Node TemperaturesNode data put directly on motor cross-
section to give a quick and easy method of visualizing the temperature distribution in the machine

29
Inbuilt Sensitivity Analysis Motor-CAD’s multi-parametric solver capabilities with automated graphing is very useful to help identify the main constraints to cooling and for studying the effects of manufacturing options and tolerances on the cooling performance
30
Duty Cycle Thermal Transient Analysis• here we see an example of duty-
cycle load analysis carried out in Motor-CAD
• the complex load is input using the duty cycle editor
– it can also be imported from Excel, Matlab, etc
• we have excellent agreement between the calculated thermal response and measured temperatures

Transient Soak Back Analysis
Soak back analysis is important in applications such some aerospace machines soak back is used to check heating of the housing when the machine is turned off
• When turned off the losses are zero but any forced cooling of the machine also often stops such that the housing increases in temperature due to heat soaking back from the hot winding
Example shown above: motors driving propellers on a small submersible craft fitted with a camera there is very good cooling when the craft is moving under water to remove the craft from the water it is moved to surface and motors turned off the craft is then removed from water by operator the losses are now zero but the housing increases in temperature (soak back) Motor-CAD was used to ensure the housing is not too hot for safe handling?
