Non-Oriented Silicon Iron Alloys Used in Efficient Electrical Motor Production

Abstract

In this paper four non-oriented electrical steel grades M400-50A, M400-65A, M300-35A and NO20, utilizing a laboratory single sheet tester, were analyzed. For the magnetic measurements the peak magnetic polarization of 1 T was chosen. The frequency was variated between 3 Hz and 400 Hz. The isotropic electrical steel sheets were cut through punching technology, along the rolling direction. The experimentally determined energy losses were decomposed, using the loss separation theory, into hysteresis, classical and excess components. The relative magnetic permeability was analyzed and its parts, real and imaginary permeability were computed. The non-oriented alloy magnetic properties’ variation as a function of frequency was plotted and explained in the paper.
