Electric Motor Internal Thermal Analysis
A compact high-power DC motor generates significant internal heat causing the primary components to exceed 100 C in temperature. Under normal ambient temperatures this is satisfactory, however in extreme desert conditions premature failure of the motor occurs due to over-heating. Optimisation of the motor with a unique internal cooling fan was necessary in order to permit the motor to operate continuously in high ambient temperature conditions. A cost-effective design tool was required to carry out rapid system analysis on the design.
