Explain why laminated steel pieces are typically used in a squirrel cage rotor
What will be an ideal response?
The squirrel cage rotor requires a low reluctance path for the magnetic field, so the steel pieces are provided because of the low reluctance of steel (iron).
The text did not go further with this explanation, but the purpose of the laminations is to prevent eddy currents.
