Abstract: – The study of thermal behaviour is useful to identify causes of failure in electrical machines. This
work details a two dimensional model for computing the magnetic and thermal finite element solution of
induction motor using a weak coupling algorithm. In order to improve the accuracy of the adopted numerical
formulation, the decrease of the electric conductivity with temperature is taking into account.
