THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

1. MODES OF HEAT DISSIPATION

The losses appear as heat and therefore the temperature of every affected part of the machine rises above the ambient medium which is normally the surrounding air. The heated parts of an electrical machine dissipate heat into their surroundings by conduction, and convection assisted by radiation.

a) Conduction

This mode of dissipation of heat is important in the case of solid parts of machine like copper, iron and insulation.

Note: The material having a high value of thermal Resistivity will dissipate less amount of heat or alternatively for the dissipation of same heat the temperature rise will be higher.

b) Radiation

- 20 -


Note: In electrical rotating machines and transformers radiation does not normally occur by itself and in almost every case it is accompanied by convection.

c) Convection

HEAT FLOW IN TWO DIMENSIONS

Practically heat does not travel along parallel paths and the dissipating surfaces are not homogenous. In actual practice the heat flow is in different directions and the winding and cores have insulation in addition to copper and iron respectively.

✓ The thermal Resistivity of built up windings and cores depends upon relative thickness of insulation to copper or iron.

ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS IN SPECIFIC MAGNITIC AND ELECTRIC LOADINGS

Example: 01

For a certain d.c. generator the core loss is 1000 W and the armature resistance is0.025 ohm. The core and windings form a cylinder 0.25 m long and 0.25 m in diameter. Specific loss dissipation is 230 W/m2-0C. Calculate the specific electric loading which would result in windings and core having a temperature rise of 400C. The machine is wave wound with 270 armature conductors.

Assume that the heat is dissipated from the cylindrical surface only.
