WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.453 --> 00:00:01.484 At a core corner, 2 00:00:01.623 --> 00:00:04.875 magnetic flux turns and transfers between laminations. 3 00:00:05.749 --> 00:00:08.686 A conventional lap alternates joint positions between 4 00:00:08.701 --> 00:00:09.732 two locations. 5 00:00:10.589 --> 00:00:13.114 Flux detours around each gap through neighbouring 6 00:00:13.129 --> 00:00:15.357 sheets, concentrating the transfer. 7 00:00:16.241 --> 00:00:18.447 Now spread the joint positions over five 8 00:00:18.462 --> 00:00:21.199 steps, an example within the article's typical 9 00:00:21.214 --> 00:00:21.753 range. 10 00:00:22.624 --> 00:00:24.763 The transfer is shared across more layers 11 00:00:24.778 --> 00:00:25.942 and a wider area. 12 00:00:26.813 --> 00:00:29.147 That is the purpose of multi-step lap. 13 00:00:30.018 --> 00:00:31.878 The drawing only works when the build 14 00:00:31.893 --> 00:00:32.697 preserves it. 15 00:00:33.568 --> 00:00:36.075 Length and angle errors change the overlap. 16 00:00:36.932 --> 00:00:38.788 Burrs can hold the joint open. 17 00:00:39.672 --> 00:00:41.292 When the top yoke is removed for 18 00:00:41.307 --> 00:00:44.240 winding assembly, rebuild the same lacing pattern. 19 00:00:45.124 --> 00:00:48.261 Joint geometry, edge condition and reassembly all 20 00:00:48.276 --> 00:00:49.599 belong in the inspection.
