Fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of TEFC machine end regions using more realistic end-winding geometry (2019)
Journal Article
La Rocca, S., Pickering, S. J., Eastwick, C. N., Gerada, C., & Rönnberg, K. (2019). Fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of TEFC machine end regions using more realistic end-winding geometry. Journal of Engineering, 2019(17), 3831-3835. https://doi.org/10.1049/joe.2018.8026

Here, a typical small low-voltage totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor (output power ∼10 kW) has been studied using computational fluid dynamics. The complexity of the end-winding geometries, often consisting of several insulated copper strands b...
