Study Notes
Induction Motor Components
- Induction motors have two main parts: a stator and a rotor.
- The stator houses a 3-phase winding, powered by a 3-phase supply.
- The number of poles in the stator winding determines the motor's speed. More poles mean a slower speed.
- The 3-phase current creates a rotating magnetic field of constant magnitude at synchronous speed (Ns = 120 f/P).
Rotor Types
- Squirrel-cage rotor: This rotor type is used in squirrel-cage induction motors.
- Phase-wound/Wound rotor: Also known as phase-wound motors, wound motors, or slip-ring motors.
