Just like in transformers, silicon steel’s high electrical resistivity and carefully controlled grain orientation help to minimize core losses in electric motors. These losses occur due to the changing magnetic field during motor operation, and silicon steel’s magnetic properties reduce eddy current and hysteresis losses.Silicon steel exhibits high magnetic permeability, allowing it to efficiently conduct magnetic flux lines, which enhances the motor’s magnetic circuit and improves its efficiency.Silicon steel’s high saturation induction allows it to handle high magnetic flux density without becoming magnetically saturated. This property is crucial for motors that operate at varying loads and speeds.Silicon steel used in electric motors is typically manufactured in thin laminations that are insulated from each other. This lamination process reduces eddy current losses, as each layer acts as an insulating barrier between adjacent layers.
