Abstract
This paper reports on investigations of the electrical stress/interlaminar voltages on electrical steel coatings and
highlights some misconceptions by simulating possible insulation failures in a magnetic core. It concludes by showing
that insulation breakdown due to electrical discharge between laminations is not the main cause of short circuits in a
magnetic core and questions the significance of insulation resistance consequently, as a selection criterion of electrical
steel coatings in the machine building process.
