| Summary: | The performance of an induction motor, a core component of the high-speed train, is of critical importance to the safety of the train. As a result of limited space in the train and the motor’s high-power density, motor heating poses a grave threat to its service life and operational safety. In this study, a 600-kW high-speed train induction motor model was established and its temperature field calculated by the finite volume method. To optimize the heat dissipation and further reduce the motor temperature rise, a variable cross-section stator ventilation hole was proposed and its influence on the wind velocity and temperature rise comprehensively studied. After comparing the cooling effect of the linear and nonlinear variable cross-section of the ventilation hole, the influence of the cross-sectional diameter and the radial position of the ventilation hole on the temperature rise was explored. Finally, the most favorable scheme for motor heat dissipation was determined.
