The problem is that we want to know the overall maximum temp. within the motor. Therefore shaft temperatures won't work since the "hot spot" is the surface of the rotor (at least that will contact the air). It is impossible to disassemble the motor fast enough to get a true maximum...
I am interested in finding the maximum temperature of the rotor an electric induction motor during normal operation. The problem is that the rotor is a rotating assembly within the closed assembly of the motor. We are currently testing using nonreversible temperature stick-on labels (through...
