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, stationary windings, and 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, and the magnetic field appears to synchronously rotate
electrically around the inside of the motor housing.
