Induction motor is also called asynchronous motor as it runs at a different speed with the synchronous speed. Like any other electrical motor, induction motor have two main parts namely rotor and stator.
Rotor:
The rotor is a rotating part of induction motor. The rotor is connected to the mechanical load through the shaft. The rotor of the three phase induction motor are further classified as-
Squirrel cage rotor,
Slip ring rotor or wound rotor or phase wound rotor.
Depending upon the type of rotor used the three phase induction motor are classified as-
Squirrel cage induction motor
Slip ring induction motor or wound induction motor or phase wound induction motor
Stator: As its name indicate stator is a stationary part of induction motor. A three phase supply is given to the stator of induction motor.
