Suppose I have a coil of X size, number of turns and some specific voltage. Suppose that coil is going on a stackup of E-laminations. Suppose I'm supposed to have 47 laminations and order such a part.
The question is: How will the magnetics be affected if there's a 48'th lamination in the coil? The voltage should be 115 volts AC but I don't know the amperage or the VA. None of that is important; what I'm after knowing is will the extra ferrous material cause the coil to run hotter? Can it shorten the lifespan? Can it even cause a fire? These things I truly don't know, but it's important. For reasons of security I'm not at liberty to tell you more about what I'm inspecting. However, due to the fact that some engineer has decided to use 47 laminations, I'm wondering if the extra is going to be a problem.
The parts are rejected because they're not built to print. I'm just wondering if, and if so - how big an impact it may have.
Thanks.
