An induction motor is a type of electric motor that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It's one of the most commonly used types of motors, especially in industrial applications, due to its simplicity, ruggedness, and cost-effectiveness. fig. Induction Motor What is an Induction Motor? An induction motor is an asynchronous motor where the electric current needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. This means that the rotor does not need a separate power source but instead derives its energy from the stator's magnetic field. Working Principle The basic working principle of an induction motor is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. When a three-phase current flo...
