Hi fellows! Hoping everyone is fine and doing great. Today, I am going to give you an Introduction to Induction Motors, the term which is very common and familiar but still many of us do not know it’s working and difference from other motors. Induction Motor is an AC electric motor, having a stator and a rotor just like other motors, but the working principle is a little different which would be discussed further. There are two types of Induction Motors, one is named as Single Phase Induction Motor , while the second one is named as 3 Phase Induction Motor . An Induction motor is also called asynchronous motor , because the speed of rotation of its rotor is less than stator. In other words, it does not run at its synchronous speed. Before going into the details of the working principal of ...
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. In this tutorial, we will compare DC and AC motors from their operating principles to their speed control, maintenance and applications. Both convert electrical energy into mechanical energy through electromagnetic force, but those broad labels contain several different motor families. The first important correction is that an AC motor is not simply a DC motor with continuous slip rings. Most industrial AC motors create a rotating stator field and use either induction or synchronous interaction to produce rotor torque. We will therefore compare common brushed DC motors, brushless DC motors, induction motors and synchronous AC motors. Figure: A small DC motor introduces the comparison of DC and AC motor operation. DC and AC Motor Comparison Feature ...
