Abstract
Abstract A slot insulating magnetic wedge inserted into the vicinity of the center of an opening portion of a stator slot, the slot insulating magnetic wedge being contacted with an inner surface of the stator slot of a motor. The slot insulating magnetic wedge comprises a non-magnetic insulating thin leaf shaped material and a magnetic material layer laminated on at least one surface of the non-magnetic insulating thin leaf shaped material, the electric resistance of the magnetic material layer being in the range from 10 μΩ.cm to 200 μΩ.cm. The magnetic material layer comprises an amorphous magnetic alloy thin film, a Fe-based magnetic alloy thin ribbon having ultra fine crystalline particles, a crystalline magnetic alloy thin ribbon, a crystalline or amorphous magnetic alloy thin film produced by thin film forming technologies, or the like. The magnetic material layer with the electric resistance in the range from 10 μΩ.cm to 200 μΩ.cm is used as a magnetic wedge thereby to remarkably improve the efficiency of the motor. Since the construction of the magnetic wedge is simple and convenient, it can be easily manufactured and the reliability thereof can be remarkably improved.
