Analysis of Coupled Thermal and Electromagnetic Processes in Linear Induction Motors Based on a Three-Dimensional Thermal Model

The article describes a mathematical model of interconnected electromechanical and thermal processes in linear induction motor (LIM). Here, we present the structure provide calculation formulas model. consisted eight control volumes on each tooth pitch LIM. Moreover, also its interaction with was based detailed magnetic electrical equivalent circuits Model verification performed using finite element method experimental data. We conducted study focused necessity considering influence various features processes. herein discuss application implemented MATLAB/Simulink, which used to analyze performance transport technological motors. For traction single-sided motor, determined limits safe operation by unevenness heating along length two cases: natural cooling forced cooling. cooling, required values air flow were determined. arc screw press, factors (i.e., reduction stroke, use soft start, cooling) evaluated.
