This paper deals with a new AC electric motor magnetic circuit structure made of shifted non-segmented grain oriented steel laminations. The aim of the paper is to understand with a finite element approach the local distribution of the magnetic flux density inside shifted laminations as well as in the air-gaps between them. It is shown that the air-gap flux distribution is not trivial at all and very difficult to appreciate.
