Three Phase Motor

An induction motor or 3 phase induction motor is an AC electric engine in which the electric current in the rotor had a need to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding

An induction motor which connects with a 3-stage supply called 3-stage induction motor. Example supporters,blowers, cranes,traction .It is a ac engine. The main drawback of DC motors is the existence of commutator and brushes, which require frequent maintenance and we can not use DC engine in explosive and dirty environment. But induction motors are cheaper,rugged,lighter,smaller,require much less maintenance and can use in dirty and explosive environment. Slide s may be the imp factor in this type of motor.

There are 2 types of IM.

Squirrel cage IM

Slip ring IM

There are many starting and Three Phase Motor braking condition.

Important starting methods are

Star-delta starter

Auto transformer starter

Ac voltage controller starter

Rotor resistance starter

Important braking methods are

Regenerative braking

Plugging or invert voltage braking

Dynamic braking

But one thing rate control technique of induction engine is important

Pole changing

Stator voltage control

V/f control

Slip power recovery

Rotor resistance control
