An induction motor is a generally used AC electric motor. In this motor, the electric current required within the rotor to generate torque is attained through electromagnetic induction from the stator winding’s rotary magnetic field. The rotor of this motor can be a wound type or squirrel cage rotor. Induction motors are also called ‘asynchronous motors’ because they operate at a less speed as compared to their synchronous speed. There are different types … [Read more...]
What is Split Phase Induction Motor : Working & Its Applications
The development of induction motors took place by a French scientist named Francois. He was the person who formulated the presence of revolving magnetic fields which are called Arago’s rotations and this happened in the year 1824. Whereas during the period 1879, Walter Bailey exhibited the same principle through manually switching ON and OFF which is successfully called the initial primitive induction motor. And the first single-phase AC type of induction … [Read more...]
