Abstract
This paper presents a detailed lumped parameter (LP) thermal model of an armature slot in a permanent magnet synchronous machine for traction applications. The model is used to investigate the temperature distribution in the slot after a turn-to-turn failure occurs. Steady-state analyses are conducted and a good agreement is found with FEM thermal simulations. The LP model is modified into a transient model and transient thermal analysis are conducted to predict the processing damage in the slot, which eventually might lead to a turn-to-tooth (ground) failure.
