An electric machine with a rotor (4) rotatably disposed within a stator (1) with a stator winding (3) has a plurality of permanent magnets (8) received therein. A casing (17) encloses the stator and the rotor, and an impeller (13) with blades is fixed to an axle (7) of the rotor so as to generate a flow of air through the casing for cooling end-turns (25) of the stator winding by drawing air through an inlet opening (18) at one end of the casing and blowing it out of the casing through an outlet opening (19) at the other end of the casing. At least one shutter is arranged to close the outlet opening (19) when the temperature of the cooling air through the outlet opening reaches a predetermined level well above a maximum level of the temperature possible to be reached under normal operation of the electric machine so as to close the outlet opening upon occurrence of arcing in the end-turns. A temperature dependent member is arranged in the air flow through the outlet opening to obtain such closing.
