“…The method of cutting out induction motor core sheets has a significant impact on the operating parameters obtained, especially core losses and magnetizing current, and thus on motor efficiency, which is so important from the point of view of environmental impact. All cutting methods have an impact on the degradation of the material properties of the core, however, as can be seen from the results cited, laser cutting, quite commonly used especially for small series, can cause a significant The differences in measured and calculated core losses, especially visible when using laser cutting technology, result from the fact that, according to the proposed method, the calculations were carried out assuming that the depth of field penetration into the tooth heads was doubled when laser cutting and about 10% greater when cutting using EDM technology, in relation to the value resulting from Equation (2). Although this assumption gives calculation results approximate to the measured values, they can be both slightly larger and slightly smaller than the measurement results, but at the same time the error of this approximation is relatively small.…”
