P. Beckley et al., IMPACT OF SURFACE COATING INSULATION ON SMALL MOTOR-PERFORMANCE, IEE proceedings. Electric power applications, 145(5), 1998, pp. 409-413
A range of tests exist for the characterisation of the surface insulat
ion of motor steels. Attempts to correlate readings from these tests w
ith expected motor performance suggests that, at low interlaminar EMFs
, formalised insulation may be of secondary importance. However, coati
ngs continue to play a key role in machine fabrication.
