How does an Induction Motor work
The AC induction motor is well
suited to applications requiring constant speed operation. In general, the
induction motor is cheaper and easier to maintain compared to other
alternatives.
The induction motor is made up of
the stator, or stationary windings, and the rotor. The stator consists of a
series of wire windings of very low resistance permanently attached to the
motor frame. As a voltage and a current are applied to the stator winding
terminals, a magnetic field is developed in the windings. By the way the stator
windings are arranged, the magnetic field appears to synchronously rotate
electrically around the inside of the motor housing.
The rotor is comprised of a number of thin bars,
usually aluminum, mounted in a laminated cylinder. The bars are arranged
horizontally and almost parallel to the rotor shaft. At the ends of the rotor,
the bars are connected together with a “shorting ring.” The rotor and stator
are separated by an air gap which allows free rotation of the rotor.
Induction Motor:
Induction motor is very much important for industrial revolution. Every electrical engineer and electrical crew related to work field of Induction Motor should have clear conception.
