Regardless of the method used to detect winding temperature, the total, or hot spot, temperature is the real limit; and the lower it is, the better. Don’t let excessive heat kill your motors before their time.
Book
This manual covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage. Most of the principles covered apply to other sizes as well. This manual focuses primarily on IEC motors and standards.

This presentation addresses the topic of a various temperature sensing devices including RTDs, thermostats, thermocouples and thermistors. The advantages of each and the proper application will be covered.
Article
Thermistors, derived from the term thermally sensitive resistors, are a very accurate and cost effective method for measuring temperature. Thermistors are usually two-terminal semiconductor devices made from semi-conductor materials that have an electrical resistance that varies non-linearly with temperature. Some materials provide better stability while others have higher resistance ranges and are fabricated into smaller thermistors. Each specificthermistor has its own unique resistance versus temperature characteristic.
