Steady state

Positioning and objective

The aim of “Characterization – Thermal – Motor & Generator – Steady state” test is to evaluate the impact of electromagnetic performance on thermal behavior of the machine.

A thermal working point defined by a speed and a set of losses can be considered to compute the temperature charts and the main thermal parameters.

This test helps to answer the following questions:
  • Can the machine operate at the targeted working point without any overheating? Yes / No
  • Can the different kinds of proposed cooling help to reach good performance? Yes / No

The following table helps to classify the test “Characterization – Thermal – Motor & Generator – Steady state”.
