Overview

ABSTRACT

The means to improve the yield of AC electrical machines consists in reducing iron losses. In order to achieve this, the non-oriented steel laminations are replaced by shifted grain-oriented steel laminations. They offer better performances when the magnetic flux circulates in the laminating direction. When shifted, they can be used in rotating field. Certain motors with shifted grain-oriented steel laminations have been developed in order to validate the process to be applied to various types of electrical machines and alternators.
