Physics · Electric Motors
Stray load-losses in a motor vary according to the square of the load current, are caused by leakage flux induced by load currents in laminations, and account for 4% to 5% of total losses. What is the primary way to reduce these losses?
- 1By reducing the heat generated by stator and rotor losses using a smaller fan
- 2By utilizing silicon steel laminations of low-loss grade
- 3By using thinner laminations
- 4By careful selection of slot numbers, tooth/slot geometry, and air gap✓
Correct answer
By careful selection of slot numbers, tooth/slot geometry, and air gap
