Abstract
An electrical device includes an electromagnetic component configured to generate a magnetic flux. The electromagnetic component includes a soft magnetically-conductive material configured to pass magnetic flux therethrough along a flux path. The soft magnetically-conductive material includes at least one grain oriented portion having metal grains that are oriented parallel with respect to the magnetic flux.
Claims14
An electrical device, comprising:
- an electromagnetic component configured to generate a magnetic flux;
- the electromagnetic component comprising a soft magnetically-conductive material configured to pass magnetic flux therethrough along a flux path, the soft magnetically-conductive material including at least one grain oriented portion having metal grains that are oriented parallel with respect to the magnetic flux,
- wherein the stator comprises a transition region interposed between a plurality of stator teeth and an outer yoke portion, wherein at least one of one or more stator teeth and the exterior yoke portion has a grain oriented metal portion, and
- wherein the transition region has a non-grain oriented portion including metal grains having a substantially random orientation that does not match the magnetic flux paths of the transition region.
