An induction motor or 3 phase induction motor is an AC electric engine in which the electric energy in the rotor had a need to create torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding
An induction engine which connects with a 3-stage supply called 3-phase induction motor. Example followers,blowers, Three Phase Motor cranes,traction .It really is a ac engine. The main drawback of DC motors is the presence of commutator and brushes, which require frequent maintenance and we can’t use DC electric motor in explosive and filthy environment. But induction motors are cheaper,rugged,lighter,smaller,require much less maintenance and will use in filthy and explosive environment. Slip s is the imp factor in this type of motor.
There are 2 types of IM.
Squirrel cage IM
Slip ring IM
There are numerous starting and 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 swiftness control technique of induction engine is important
Pole changing
Stator voltage control
V/f control
Slip power recovery
Rotor resistance control
