This Chapter describes design principles that must be taken into account when designing the system
using the electric machine.
Cooling and temperature measurement
Do not operate the electric machine without correctly dimensioned and operating cooling
system.
Mount the electric machine in correct position, see Chapter
When you connect the cooling system make sure that the cooling medium flows freely in and
out from the electric machine with the cooling medium flow equal or higher than rated.
The cooling medium temperature at the inlet of the electric machine must be lower or equal
to the rated temperature.
The electric machines are liquid-cooled using max. 50 % water-glycol coolant. The used cooling method
is IC 9S7Y7 (IEC 60034-6 classification), requiring an external heat exchanger. See also

coolants.
See more detailed information about coolant connection bore specifications, required coolant liquid flow
and other specifications in the product data sheet. Rated values can be found from the electric machine
rating plate.
The electric machine has at least one PT100 temperature sensor in the windings. The amount of the
sensors depend on the options chosen. The temperature signal(s) can be read out from the measurement
connector of the machine.
You can connect one temperature signal to the temperature surveillance pin in the inverter (EC-C1200)
and make sure that the inverter has the machine temperature protection feature activated.
The maximum allowed winding temperature of the electric machine is shown in the rating plate and in
the data sheet.
The PT100 temperature sensor characteristics are: resistance 100 Ω at 0 ºC temperature, and the
resistance increases 0.385 Ω per each 1 ºC increase of temperature.
Insulation lifetime
Heat cycles, environment, moisture, vibrations and similar variables have an effect on the
lifetime expectancy of the insulation of the electric machine. The value of the insulation
lifetime expectancy is a calculated value and it is not tested in practice.
The insulation of the electric machine has the following lifetime expectancy.
