The two main parts of an induction motor are:
Together, the stator creates a magnetic field, and the rotor reacts to it, creating motion (rotation). This is the basic working principle of an induction motor.
- Stator: This is the stationary part of the motor. It consists of a set of coils that are connected to the power supply. When current flows through these coils, it creates a rotating magnetic field. The stator is responsible for generating the magnetic field that induces current in the rotor.
- Rotor: This is the rotating part of the motor. It sits inside the stator and is usually made of conductive material like aluminum or copper. When the rotating magnetic field from the stator interacts with the rotor, it induces a current in the rotor, which creates its own magnetic field, causing the rotor to rotate.
