Welcome to the second in our series of blogs explaining some
of the expressions you may come across when dealing with variable-speed drives,
pumps, electric motors, control panels and more. Today we’re asking ‘what is an
induction motor?’
It's actually quite simple:
- An induction motor is an alternating current (AC) motor in which the stator winding is directly connected to the power source.
- The rotor doesn't have a direct electrical connection as its current is induced (i.e. caused by) by the electro-magnetic field from the stator.
- Hence the term induction motor!
We hope this has cleared things up. If you have any
technical questions for the friendly Gibbons team, don’t hesitate to call us on
