Assessment of Different Cooling Techniques for Reduced Mechanical Stress in the Windings of Electrical Machines

Thermal loading can induce mechanical stresses in the windings of electrical machines, especially those impregnated with epoxy resins, which is mostly the case in modern traction motors. Although designers look for cooling techniques that give better performance in terms of the power density and eff...
