I am performing a 2D radial-plane thermal simulation of an electric machine. Normally, the effect of the end-windings is neglected in this study, as it is not modeled. Is there any way to include or approximate the impact of the end-windings in such a model? Is there any way to add a thermal circuit to model it?
For example, suppose cooling is applied directly to only the end-windings, and we would like to investigate how this influences the slot-conductor temperature.
