Abstract
In order to improve the efficiency of electric machines, by reducing losses caused by eddy currents induced by high frequency fluxes, the outer surface of the rotor, including the rotor pole face, has a plurality of circumferential grooves. The grooves are provided in axially spaced relation along the rotor. Preferably, the method of reducing losses includes the step of forming the grooves by laser cutting, which permits the width and spacing of the grooves to be minimized so as to maximize loss reduction by increasing resistance to eddy currents.
