Abstract Prolonged operation of electric motors, especially in demanding industrial settings, often leads to excessive heat buildup, which can degrade performance and compromise system reliability. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to motor protection by integrating advanced thermal modeling with an active play protection mechanism. A dynamic thermal model is developed to predict the internal temperature of motor components under varying operational loads and ambient conditions. The model employs simplified thermal equivalent circuits and real-time parameter estimation to assess both transient and steady-state thermal responses. To mitigate the risks associated with overheating, a proactive play protection strategy is introduced. This system monitors thermal conditions and regulates motor activity through predictive control techniques, including load modulation, controlled downtime, and temperature-based operational limits. The proposed idea is evaluated through simulations and validated using data from motors operating under extended load cycles in real-world conditions. The results showcase the effectiveness of the integrated model in anticipating thermal stress and enabling timely interventions, significantly reducing the likelihood of thermal failure. This method enhances motor durability and operational safety across various applications, such as automated manufacturing, transport systems, and robotics.
