Abstract

A thermal management of an electric motor is one of the important factor to ensure optimum performance and efficiency of the motor. The thermal behaviour of the motor depends on the motor geometry and the heat sources. The performance of electric motor is influenced by its temperature due to the heat dissipated from the motor. During the operation of the electric motor, more heat will dissipated from the motor which cause the temperature of the motor rised. An excessive heat that generated from the motor will affect the motor performance and may cause a failure. Understanding the importance of the thermal management had motivated the aim of this study is in creating thermal model of motor and letting the capability of the motor performance. The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is selected to its highest performance and necessary to avoid demagnetized due to excessive heat. The model of the motor simulated using Finite Element which is 2D Flux Altair software. The expected result for this study is to predict the thermal capability of the motor performance before it reaches the failure level and known as Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF). The simulated result showed that the heat generated in the motor is directly proportional with the increased torque of the motor.
