This paper deals with a new AC electric motor magnetic circuit structure made of shifted non-segmented grain oriented steel laminations. The aim of the paper is to understand with a finite element approach the local distribution of the magnetic flux density inside shifted laminations as well as in the air-gaps between them. It is shown that the air-gap flux distribution is not trivial at all and very difficult to appreciate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
