The transmission current in a power cable is determined under the condition of separate pipe cooling. To this end, the thermal analysis is conducted with the standard condition of separate pipe cooling system, which constitutes one of the underground power transmission system. The changes of transmission current in a power cable with respect to the variation of temperatures and flow rates of inlet cooling water as well as the cooling spans are also determined. As a consequnce, the corresponding transmission current is shown to vary within allowable limit, resulting in the linear variation of the current for most of the cable routes. The abrupt changes of current, however, for the given flow rate of inlet cooling water in some cooling span lead to the adverse effects on the smooth current transmission within the underground power transmission system. In practice, it is expected that the desinging of the separate pipe cooling system in conjunction with the evaluation of system capacity should take into account the effects of design condition on the inlet cooling flow rate.

Steady-state thermal analysis was performed on a thermal equivalent circuit to determine the heat generation during operation of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). New machines must be compact and light and produce high torque density under extreme environmental conditions. Thermal analysis of an IPMSM is particularly important because excessive heat generated from the core and magnet reduces the IPMSM's output and has adverse effects on the durability. Therefore, steady-state thermal analysis of an IPMSM was performed for changes in the design variables using a thermal equivalent circuit. The changed variables were the axis length and thickness of the housing. The results of this method were compared with those of the finite element method to verify the accuracy and reliability.

In this paper, research on the thermal analysis method is reported for the characterization of heat generation while operating an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) for railway vehicles. Efficient cooling of the heat generated in the IPMSM is important because the excessive heat generated from the winding, core and permanent magnets increases the difficulty of continuously operating an IPMSM over long time periods. Therefore, in this study, in order to analyze the heat generation characteristics of the IPMSM for advanced research in the application of IPMSMs to cooling devices, the heat transfer coefficients for each component of the IPMSM were derived and the thermal equivalent circuit was configured to perform thermal analyses. Finally, the validation of the suggested thermal analysis method was performed through comparison with the heat experimental data of an IPMSM prototype.

A research on thermal analysis method is conducted for the characterization of heat generation during operation of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) for Light Railway Transits(LRT) in this paper. Efficient cooling of the heat generated in the IPMSM is important because the excessive heat generated from the winding, core and permanent magnet makes it harder for a long time continuous operation of IPMSM. Therefore, in order to analyze the heat generation characteristics of the 110kW-class IPMSM as advanced research for application the IPMSM to the cooling device, the heat transfer coefficients for each component of the 110 kW-class IPMSM were derived and the thermal equivalent network was configured to perform the thermal analysis in this study. Finally, the 110kW-class IPMSM prototype is made and a comparative verification between the test data and the thermal analysis results through its various performance tests are carried out.

At design stage of new motor or when taking remedial action of old motor, a lot of information can be obtained from thermal parameters analysis. This study focused on the temperature rise of TEFC induction motor with respect to various thermal parameters. Frame heat transfer had the most important effect on coil temperature rise. But those of air gap and rotor fan had no effect. This fact shows fan action is more important than fin action in the case of rotor fan. Coil temperature can be more decreased by cooling near the heat sources than any other parts from the results of thermal conductivity and loss tests. Variation of cooling air flow rate and motor volume effects on coil temperature were also tested. These tests suggest that improvement of cooling fan performance is important in reducing the coil temperature rise. Thermal equivalent program was verified by comparison of some experimental results.
