Electric Motor Design and Analysis

IN any multilayer winding carrying an alternating current, such as the windings illustrated in figures 1, 2, and 3, each layer of copper lies in the alternating magnetic field set up by the current in all the other layers. Eddy currents are set up in each layer in a direction to partly neutralize the magnetic intensities in the interior of the copper wire in each layer. As a result of the eddy-current losses in the copper, the effective resistance of the winding to the alternating current it carries may be many times its resistance to continuous currents.
