Parts of induction motor
Principle of induction motor


An induction motor is a type of electric motor that
converts electric power into rotary motion.
An induction motor uses the principle of
electromagnetic induction to cause the rotor to
turn.
Working of induction motor

Electric current is supplied to the stator, which
induces a magnetic field that rotates.
The rotating magnetic field interacts with the
rotor, inducing current in the rotor.
The interaction of the two magnetic fields results
in a torque, turning the rotor within the motor
casing.
Because the induction motor does not use
brushes like DC motors, there is less wear of the
internal parts.
