Heating and Life Problem of High Power Density Induction Motor

An induction motor with its speed modulated by frequency features wide transfer speed range, high systematic efficiency, simple structure and long life, and it therefore becomes one of the best driving motorsused in electrical vehicles. The present research trend of it is high power, high speed, high efficiency and longlife. How to meet the above requirements by using the electromagnetic design, structure design and heat de-sign, becomes a matter that needs to be resolved now. In this paper, the characters of the motor in operation areanalyzed, all kinds of factors that relate to life are laid out, its heating and loss are discussed and analyzed.The key reasons affecting the motor life are presented, and different characters of a high induction motor are compared with these of a general induction motor. A design idea is described, that is : we should consider how to improve the efficiency and reliability as well as how to reduce the heating by changing the electromagnet,structure, dissipation and operation of the motor. How to reduce its losses and to improve its dissipation has been presented in the paper.
