Cores are laminated to reduce circulating currents, called 'eddy currents', which are caused by voltages induced into the core. As each lamination is effectively insulated from its neighbours, its cross-sectional area and, thus, its resistance is increased. Additionally, the voltage induced into each lamination is much lower than would be induced into an unlaminated core -so, the combination of lower induced voltages and higher resistances significantly reduce energy losses in the core.

What is the main material in a motor armature?

Instead of a single piece of metal, the armature is made up of laminated thin metal plates. The thickness of the laminations is determined by the supply frequency. They are approximately 0.5mm thick. For the armature core, silicon steel laminates are used to reduce eddy currents and hysteresis losses.

What is a core lamination?

Core lamination refers to the process of layering thin sheets of magnetic material, like steel or iron, in an alternating pattern to form the core of an electrical transformer or motor. This laminated construction reduces energy losses due to eddy currents and improves the overall efficiency of the device.
