Three phase induction motors employ a simple construction composed of a stator protected with electromagnets, and a rotor composed of conductors shorted at each end, arranged as a “squirrel cage”. They work on the basic principle of induction in which a rotating electro-magnetic field it created through the use of a three-stage current at the stators electromagnets. Therefore induces a current inside the rotor’s conductors, which in turns creates rotor’s magnetic field that attempts to check out stator’s magnetic field, pulling the rotor into rotation.

Great things about AC Induction Motors are:

Induction motors are simple and rugged in construction. They are better quality and can operate in any environmental condition

Induction motors are cheaper in cost due to simple rotor construction, lack of brushes, commutators, and slide rings

They are maintenance free motors unlike dc motors because of the lack of brushes, commutators and slip rings

Induction motors could be operated in polluted and explosive environments as they don’t have brushes which can cause sparks

AC Induction motors are Asynchronous Machines meaning that the rotor does not change at the precise same speed since the stator’s rotating magnetic field. Some difference in the rotor and stator quickness is necessary in order to produce the induction in to the rotor. The difference Induction Motor china between the two is named the slip. Slip must be kept in a optimal range in order for the motor to operate effectively. Roboteq AC Induction controllers could be configured to operate in another of three modes:

Scallar (or Volts per Hertz): an Open loop mode where a command causes a simultaneous, fixed-ratio Frequency and Voltage change.

Controlled Slip: a Closed Loop speed where voltage and frequency are managed to keep slip inside a narrow range while operating at a preferred speed.

Field Oriented Control (Vector Drive): a Closed Loop Swiftness and Torque control that works by optimizing the rotating field of the stator vs. this of the induced field in the rotor.
