  • Abstract
    URBAN TRANSIT MOTORS have evolved from totally enclosed to highly ventilated designs in order to keep pace with the demand for increased performance. Successive mechanical improvements permitting higher and higher speeds, and improved fan designs on self-ventilated motors have helped to provide more air flow for cooling the windings.
