Review of thermal analysis of permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machines

This paper presents a review of the losses and thermal analysis of permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motors. Various types of solutions for critical parts of heat extractions and different empirical correlation for determination of each part are presented in details. Finally the experimental methods for determination of the critical parameters are presented. In this paper has tried to give advices how to calculate the critical parameter for constructing more accurate lumped parameter thermal network.
