Dear students,

Some input regarding Project 1 following the discussions during today's project work:

• When computing the rated torque using FEMM and comparing with the motor rate plate data, it is reasonable to assumed that the rotor bars are not at room temperature; 100 degC is more close to reality.
• Remember also to take the short-circuit ring into account when setting the conductivity for the rotor bars (as outlined in the course book).
• The air-gap length is close to \(\delta\!\approx\!0.3\) mm (rather than 0.4 mm I saw that some used in their code).

Best,

Oskar
