In a synchronous machine, the stator core is made up of ______.

Concept:

The main function of the stator core is to carry the alternating flux

• In order to reduce the eddy current loss, the stator core is laminated
• These laminated types of structures are made up of stamping which is about 0.4 to 0.5 mm thick
• All the stampings are stamped together to form a stator core, which is then placed in the stator frame
• The stamping is made up of silicon steel, which helps to reduce the hysteresis loss occurring in the motor and for high magnetic permeability
