A method for cooling an electrical machine includes the following steps: guiding a coolant in an axial coolant supply line which is arranged in the rotor shaft, and conducting the coolant into an interior chamber of the electrical machine via a radial coolant supply line which is connected in a coolant-conducting manner to the axial coolant supply line. The electrical machine has an axial coolant supply line and at least one radial coolant supply line connected in a coolant-conducting manner to the axial coolant supply line, both of which are arranged in the rotor shaft. An interior chamber of the electrical machine is connected in a coolant-guiding manner to the radial coolant supply line.

A rotary electric machine includes a rotor, a stator including a stator core and a stator coil attached to the stator core, the stator being disposed opposed to the rotor, and a case accommodating the rotor and the stator. In the stator coil, coils of a plurality of phases are connected by a neutral point bus bar. The neutral point bus bar is provided at a coil end protruding in an axial direction from one end surface of the stator core. A cooling pipe for cooling the stator coil is provided inside the case. The cooling pipe includes a first refrigerant supply hole for discharging a refrigerant toward the coil end and a second refrigerant supply hole for discharging the refrigerant toward the neutral point bus bar.

A method for manufacturing a housing for an electrical machine includes printing, by a three-dimensional (3D) printing process, the housing. In addition, the method includes printing, by the 3D printing process, a cooling jacket that is integral with the housing. The method also includes printing, by the 3D printing process, at least one end cap configured to enclose a cavity defined by the housing. In addition, the method includes coupling the at least one end cap to the housing.

A traction motor comprises a stator, a rotor core, an iron core holder, a cooling fan, a rotor, a frame, a bracket, and a bearing unit. The cooling fan includes a main plate that separates the inside and the outside of the totally-enclosed traction motor; blades provided on the bracket side of the cooling fan and along a rotational direction of the rotor; and a guide provided on the bracket side of the blades. In the bracket, inlets are provided within an area obtained when the guide is projected onto the bracket. The guide is formed such that air drawn in through the inlets is guided to a rotor shaft.
