AC Induction Motor
The AC Induction Motor is a widely used type of electric motor, commonly found in industrial, agricultural, and household applications. Its operating principle is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, where the rotor interacts with the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator, causing the rotor to rotate. Unlike synchronous motors, the speed of the rotor in an induction motor is always lower than the speed of the stator's magnetic field, hence the term "asynchronous."
Control methods for AC induction motors include direct-on-line starting, star-delta starting, and variable frequency drive (VFD) control, which cater to different speed and load requirements. Common applications include fans, pumps, compressors, and conveyor belts, making AC induction motors vital in industrial automation and energy efficiency sectors.
