The Importance of Lamination
The rotor consists of a steel lamination and resembles a cylindrical core with evenly-spaced slots for its three-phase windings. The lamination process consistently reduces the loss of iron. Since the lamination is made of steel, the assembly will also reduce Eddy current loss. Because of this, the rotor core will not be subjected to iron losses since the rotor current frequency is low.
As the magnetic field of the energized rotor passes through the stator core, a perpendicular flow is created. The current that passes through the stator is the Eddy current, which flows in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field. If the core was not laminated and only made of solid steel, the Eddy currents would generate so much heat that the core would likely melt.
