Abstract
An induction motor is disclosed which utilizes a liquid in intimate contact with the rotor and stator conductors for cooling and yet minimizes the disadvantages of high rotational drag losses associated with conventional spray cooled motors. Cooling liquid is conducted through a hollow rotor shaft and directed to a cavity at the center of the magnetic length of the rotor. The cavity is formed by separating two adjacent rotor laminations. The cooling liquid flows axially from the central cavity toward the rotor ends through slots which contain the rotor conductors. A sealing band is provided around the rotor laminations to prevent cooling liquid from entering the air gap between the rotor and the stator.
