Silicon steel, eo hape e tsejoang e le tšepe ea motlakase, ke mofuta o ikhethileng oa tšepe o etselitsoeng ho bonts'a thepa e ikhethang ea makenete. Hangata e sebelisoa ha ho etsoa li-transformer, li-motors tsa motlakase le lisebelisoa tse ling tsa motlakase.
Ho eketsoa ha silicon ho tšepe ho thusa ho ntlafatsa matla a eona a motlakase le a makenete, ho etsa hore e be thepa e loketseng bakeng sa lits'ebetso moo ho hlokahalang tahlehelo ea mantlha le matla a matla a khoheli. Silicon steel hangata e etsoa ka mokhoa oa lishiti tse tšesaane, tse entsoeng ka laminate kapa likhoele ho fokotsa tahlehelo ea hona joale ea eddy le ho ntlafatsa ts'ebetso e felletseng ea lisebelisoa tsa motlakase.
Li-coil tsena li ka 'na tsa e-ba le mekhoa e khethehileng ea ho koala le ho phekoloa ka holim'a metsi ho ntlafatsa litšobotsi tsa bona tsa makenete le ts'ebetso ea motlakase. Sebopeho le ts'ebetso e nepahetseng ea li-coil tsa tšepe tsa silicon li ka fapana ho latela ts'ebeliso e reriloeng le litlhoko tsa ts'ebetso.
Likhoele tsa tšepe tsa silicon li bapala karolo ea bohlokoa ts'ebetsong e nepahetseng le e ts'epahalang ea lisebelisoa tse fapaneng tsa motlakase 'me ke likarolo tsa bohlokoa tlhahisong, phetisong le ts'ebelisong ea matla a motlakase.
