    [0115] In FIG. 3, reference numeral 16 refers to a laser groove irradiation line.

    [0116] Hereinafter, an operation of a magnetic domain refining device of a grain-oriented electrical steel plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
