Types of AC Induction Motors

Types of AC Induction Motors As mentioned before, squirrel-cage induction motors are very prevalent in industry, in sizes from fractional horse powers up to tens of megawatts. They are simple, rugged, and self-starting, and maintain a reasonably constant speed from light load to full load, set by the frequency of the power supply and the [...]

Squirrel Cage Induction Motors

Squirrel-cage induction motors are very prevalent in industry, in sizes from fractional horse powers up to tens of megawatts. They are simple, rugged, and self-starting, and maintain a reasonably constant speed from light load to full load, set by the frequency of the [...]
