Induction Motors

What is an induction motor? An induction motor is an AC motor in which the electric current is passed through the winding of the stator which produces the magnetic field and induces a current in the rotor to move it in a circular motion. This motor is also known as asynchronous motor.                       OR        It is an AC motor in which the torque/rotation is produced by the relation between a non-uniform magnetic field generated by the stator and the current induced in the rotor. Principle of an Induction motor:-                The induction motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Thus it is named as Induction motor . In an induction motor the AC supply is given only to the winding's of the stator. These winding's produce a magnetic flux/field which links with  the rotor which forces the motor to rotate. ...
