A permanent three-dimensional model based on a nodal approach was developed to predict the thermal behavior of the machine in permanent state. The various heat transfer modes playing a role (mainly the conduction, the convection and the mass transfer) are taken into account. A parametric study using this model is carried out aiming at two objectives. The first one consists in an evaluation of the influence of several factors on the temperature distribution. The second one aims at obtaining the inception of the thermal
