There are some aspects and limitations that prevent electric machines from getting more power. First, the stator winding insulation can get too hot that could shorten life or even damage the insulation coating in the surface of the copper wire. Another limitation is that in machines that use permanent magnets, such as most of the synchronous machines, as the magnet gets hotter, it approaches a point where it starts to lose its magnetism. Generally, the more power applied to an electric machine, the hotter it gets which means the more losses there are.<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
The focus on the permanent magnet machines are having more popularity in industries. Such areas that is getting popular are automobiles and tractions motors. The thermal modelling of electric machines under overload condition investigates on the performance of the machines for a longer period of time. There are different aspects thermal modelling of electric machine. One aspect that convert electrical circuit to thermal circuit. An aspect also of thermal modelling is by using Finite element analysis software. Another aspect of thermal modelling is heat transfer process in machines.<br />
