Thin steel sheets that kill eddy currents

In electrical engineering, the core of a transformer or motor is laminated (assembled from many thin steel sheets, each coated with insulation and stacked), so that the changing magnetic field induces only small, isolated eddy currents in each sheet rather than large circulating currents in a solid core, sharply reducing energy loss and heating. Chapman's Electric machinery fundamentals (2012) explains laminations as the standard remedy for eddy-current losses. The referent is the layered magnetic core and its loss-suppressing function, which shares the word and the layered form with pastry and composites but serves an electromagnetic purpose.[1]
