34.2. Induction Motor : General Prin-ciple As a general rule, conversion of electrical power into mechanical power takes place in the rotating part of an electric motor . In d.c. motors , the electric power is conducted directly to the armature (i.e. rotating part) through brushes and commutator (Art. 29.1). Hence, in this sense, a d.c. motor can be called a conduction What is an Induction Motor? An induction motor is an AC electric motor in which the rotor current needed to produce torque is generated by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. Induction motor is an electrical motor which works on electromagnetic induction . By rotating motor the electromagnetic force generates alternative current which convert mechenical energy into mechenical energy. Learn how induction motors work based on electromagnetic induction and rotating magnetic field. Compare different types of induction motors based on rotor and phase, and their advantages and disadvantages for various applications.
