Types of cooling

Electric motors have a high efficiency of over 90 percent. In other words, a large portion of the electrical energy that is supplied is converted into mechanical output. The remaining approximately 10 percent of the electrical output is lost in the form of heat. To prevent the motor from overheating, this heat must be dissipated.

For this, a variety of options exist. Uncooled motors dissipate the heat into the machine housing to which they are mounted and into the surroundings via convection. Air-cooled motors have a fan that blows air onto the motor housing, thereby cooling it. Motors with fluid cooling are cooled with water or oil that flows through cooling channels in the motor.
