ABSTRACT

These large magnetic moments allow atoms within small volumes of the material to orient themselves locally such that the magnetic moments of the atoms within these volumes are aligned in the same direction. Such volumes, which contain locally oriented atoms, are called magnetic domains or, more simply, domains, and the length of a typical domain in one direction is of the order of 10-3 to 10-5 m. If a volume of ferromagnetic material such as iron in the demagnetized state is considered, the domains will be present but the direction of the magnetic moment of the various domains will

As discussed in Section 14.6, it is necessary to laminate magnetic cores of polyphase induction motors and to provide some amount of insulation on the surface of the steel laminations. Until about the middle of this century, this was accomplished by applying various formulations of organic varnish. Although the varnish buildup could be controlled to some extent by controlling the viscosity of the varnish, the buildup was typically in the range 0.012 to 0.018 mm (or 0.0005 to 0.0007 in. /side). However, some buildups exceeded this range. For punchings with a thickness of 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) and using a conservative value of varnish buildup of 0.015 mm, the buildup would constitute about (2)(0.015)/0.5 = 0.06 per unit, or 6%, of the overall core length, not including radial air ducts. This amount of buildup corresponds to (0.06)(40) = 2.4 cm, for a 40-cm solid stack length, or to approximately 0.90 in. for a 15-in. solid stack length.
