Question:

Why is the generator made of non oriented silicon steel?

Why is the generator made of non oriented silicon steel?

Answer:

The transformer works at rest. Large and medium sized transformer core is made of a lamination, some distribution transformer, current and voltage transformers and pulse transformer is made by winding iron core, which can ensure the electrical steel material along the rolling direction and the magnetization, so with cold-rolled silicon steel manufacturing
Commonly known as the silicon silicon steel sheet or steel sheet, ferrosilicon soft magnetic alloy is very low carbon containing essential power, electronic industry and military, is also the largest production of metallic functional materials, its output accounts for about 1% of world steel production, it is ferrosilicon alloy containing silicon 0.8%-4.8%, the hot and cold rolled silicon steel in thickness the sheet below 1mm. The addition of silicon can increase the resistivity and maximum permeability of the iron, reduce the coercive force, the core loss (iron loss) and the magnetic aging, and are mainly used as the cores of various motors, generators and transformers.
The path of a magnetic field within a generator is not in one direction.The magnetic field from the rotor is radial, while the tangential direction from the N pole to the S pole is tangential
The motor works in the running state, and the iron core is made of a stator and rotor with a toothed circular chip, which requires the electrical steel plate to be magnetic isotropic, so it is made of non oriented cold rolled electrical steel or hot-rolled silicon steel.
