Three phase Induction in Motor Induction motors have a very 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 where a rotating electro-magnetic field it produced through the use of a three-stage current at the stators electromagnets. This in turn induces a current within the rotor’s conductors, which in turns produces rotor’s magnetic field that tries to check out stator’s magnetic field, pulling the rotor into rotation.

Great things about AC Induction Motors are:

Induction motors are basic and rugged in building. They are better quality and can operate in virtually any environmental condition

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

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

Induction motors can be operated in polluted and explosive conditions as they don’t have brushes that may cause sparks

AC Induction motors are Asynchronous Devices and therefore the rotor does not change at the precise same speed since the stator’s rotating magnetic field. Some difference in the rotor and stator swiftness is necessary in order to generate the induction into the rotor. The difference between your two is named the slip. Slip should be kept in a optimal range in order for the motor to operate efficiently. Roboteq AC Induction controllers could be configured to operate in another of three modes:

Scallar (or Volts per Hertz): an Open up loop mode in which a control causes a simultaneous, fixed-ratio Frequency and Voltage modify.

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

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