Why Induction Motor is called Asynchronous Motor?
An induction motor is called an asynchronous motor because the actual speed of the motor is not equal to the synchronous speed of the motor. The synchronous
Induction Motor
Why the Slip never Zero in an Induction Motor?
A rotating magnetic field is produced when the three-phase supply is fed to the stator. The magnetic field travels the air gap length and cuts
What is Synchronous speed? Relationship between speed and Frequency
Synchronous Speed When three phases which are 120 degree-electrical apart are fed to the stator winding of the induction motor, a rotating magnetic field is
Slip Speed in an Induction Motor
A rotating magnetic field is produced when three phase supply is fed to stator of an induction motor. The rotating magnetic field has constant magnitude
Air Gap Power in Induction Motor
Air gap power in an induction motor is the output power of the stator or input power to the rotor. The electrical power fed to
Why Starting Torque of Squirrel Cage Induction Motor is Low?
The starting torque of an induction motor is very low compared to its rated torque. The torque of an induction motor depends on the rotor
What is the importance of slip in an induction motor?
The induction motor can’t run if there is no slip. What is a slip of an induction motor? Let us first understand the slip of
Why does an Induction Motor has Poor Power Factor at NO Load?
The power factor of an induction motor is very low, in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 when the motor runs at no load. There
Deep Bar Double Cage Induction Motor
Double Cage Rotor Induction Motor provides high starting torque and low starting current. In this post, we will discuss the construction, operation, and characteristics of
Why Motor rated in KW instead of KVA?
The induction motor and the transformer work on the same principle, that is, Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The motor is rated in kW instead of KVA,
