Three Phase Motor

An induction engine or 3 phase induction motor can be an AC electric motor in which the electric current 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-phase supply called 3-stage induction motor. Example enthusiasts,blowers, Three Phase Motor cranes,traction .It 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 engine in explosive and dirty environment. But induction motors are cheaper,rugged,lighter,smaller,require less maintenance and may use in dirty and explosive environment. Slide s is the imp element in this kind 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 reverse voltage braking

Dynamic braking

But one thing speed control technique of induction engine is important

Pole changing

Stator voltage control

V/f control

Slip power recovery

Rotor resistance control
