This paper describes a temperature analysis due to core and copper loss in switched reluctance motor (SRM) by both two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element analysis. The analysis is coupled with the loss distribution calculated by 2-D finite-element method. We discuss the eff...
