Abstract

This paper proposes a basic thermal model to estimate the temperature in different points of an induction motor, totally enclosed with external ventilation, for different loads at steady state. This basic model consists simply of a conductive thermal resistance for each point considered in the machine. Thereafter, the intermediates thermal resistances of conduction of the model are deduced. This approach is very easy to implement, requiring no geometrical data, or thermo-physical coefficients, or complex methods of implementation of a thermal model. Indeed, by knowledge of total losses in the machine, the temperature of the carcass, and the temperature of any point inside of the latter allows to deduct the equivalent thermal resistance of conduction of the different points and so the corresponding temperature.
