Modern heat extraction systems for electrical machines - A review

This paper presents a review of modern cooling system employed for the thermal management of electrical machines. Various solutions for heat extractions are described: high thermal conductivity insulation materials, spray cooling, high thermal conductivity fluids, combined liquid and air forced convection, loss mitigation techniques.
