Induction motor

An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by ...an alternating-current motor in which torque is produced by the reaction between a varying magnetic field generated in the stator and the current induced in the coils of the rotor.The asynchronous nature of induction motors creates slip—the difference between the rotating speed of the shaft and the speed of the motor's magnetic field—which allows for increased torque. These motors are powered at the stator, while the rotor induces current—hence the name “induction” motor.Induction motors are electric motors that use alternating current (AC), propelled by a magnetic field that rotates. They are made up of a rotor, a stator and coils that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy using electromagnetic induction.They are used for loads that requires speed control. Typical applications of wound rotor or slip ring induction motors are crushers, plunger pumps, cranes & hoists, elevators, compressors and conveyors.
