Induction motors are AC electric motors, in which the rotation speed of the rotor is lower than the rotation speed of the magnetic field of the stator: this difference in synchronicity (or asynchronism) gives the name to this type of electric motors.
In induction motors, the stator is formed by a pack of laminations usually having the shape of a circular crown. The grooves inside the pack of stator laminations accommodate the conductors (usually enamelled copper or aluminium) of the stator winding.
The rotor is placed inside the stator and is made up of a circular shaped pack of laminations, with a hole for the rotation shaft and rotor slots generally completely filled with die-cast aluminium or copper bars. Rotors of this type are normally identified as “squirrel cage rotors”.
The stator windings are usually made with protected copper or aluminium wire (G2 class H) and subsequently covered with special varnishes that ensure superior protection from stress and atmospheric agents.
