Introduction
This presentation exploresthe construction and operational principles of 3-
phase induction motors, highlighting key components and their functions.
An induction motoris an electric motor that operates
on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It
converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, with
the rotor receiving its power through induction from
the stator's rotating magnetic field.

Types of InductionMotors
Induction motors are primarily classified into two types: squirrel cage and
wound rotor. The squirrel cage motor features a simple rotor design which
enhances reliability, while the wound rotor motor allows for better speed
control and torque management.

Applications of 3-PhaseInduction Motors
3-phase induction motors are widely utilized in various industries due to their
efficiency and reliability. Common applications include pumps, conveyors,
compressors, and fans, where consistent power and speed are crucial for
operational efficiency.
Stator Design andFunction
The stator of a 3-phase induction motor consists of laminated steel sheets to
reduce eddy current losses. It houses the winding, which is connected to a
three-phase supply, creating a rotating magnetic field that induces current in
the rotor.

The two maintypes of rotors are squirrel cage and
wound rotor. The squirrel cage rotor consists of
conductive bars shorted at both ends, while the wound
rotor has windings that enable external resistance to
control speed and torque.

Winding Configurations
Winding configurationsin 3-phase induction motors can be arranged in star
(Y) or delta (Δ) formations. The choice of configuration affects starting torque,
efficiency, and performance under load.

Conclusions
3-phase induction motorsare integral in modern industrial applications.
Understanding their construction and operational principles allows for better
design, selection, and maintenance strategies.
