Yes, there is a much better method. It measures the average temperature of the whole winding, rather than the temperature at a particular spot. IEC 62368-1 incorrectly says that the thermocouple method measures the average temperature. You will find it explained in Annex E of IEC 60950-1. Incredibly, both IEC 60065 and IEC 62368-1 refer to the 'resistance method' without either detailing it or providing a cross reference. This is a serious omission.

I will be conducting the temp rise measurements on windings of AC motors for 
electrical appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, etc.  It said the 
thermal couple method is commonly adopted for safety assessment.  I can 
dismantle the windings and place the couples inside the windings using 
cyanoacrylate adhesive.  However it may change the original shape of windings 
giving non representative measurement result.  Is there any practically 
acceptable solution?

Does the measurement result include the overshoot temperature after the power 
is cut?

Thanks and regards,
