Induction motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. Induction motor therefore does not require mechanical commutation, separate-excitation or self-excitation for all or part of the energy transferred from stator to rotor. Induction motor’s rotor can be either wound type or squirrel-cage type.
Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are ... Read more
