An asynchronous motor is a type of electric motor where electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy. Three-phase asynchronous motors are commonly used in the industry and are typically seen in industrial applications. The term "three-phase" refers to the three-phase AC electrical supply required for these motors to operate. These motors are used to provide power in a wide range of industrial applications. Various control methods and devices are used to regulate the motion of the rotor and adjust the motor's performance. Three-phase asynchronous motors are widely used in industrial facilities, vehicles, compressors, pumps, conveyor systems, and many other applications due to their advantages such as energy efficiency, robust operation, and durability.
What Is an Asynchronous Motor?
An induction motor is a type of electric motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Induction motors are widely used in industry and typically run on alternating current (AC) power. Essentially, induction motors generate motion through the interaction between rotating magnetic fields to maintain a constant speed of the rotor.
Creating Magnetic Fields: In the stator (stationary part) of the induction motor, rotating magnetic fields are generated using three-phase AC electrical energy. These fields interact with the rotor, which is typically made of conductive material.
Induction of the Rotor: The rotor (rotating part) contains a steel core or bars to create magnetic fields on it. When these magnetic fields are created inside the rotor, an electromagnetic current is induced on the rotor.
