Alternating-Current Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors These motors are by far the most common constant-speed drives. They are relatively simple in design and therefore both low in cost and highly reliable. Representative prices are shown in Fig. 29-1 for various speeds and horsepowers. [Pg.2482]

Polyphase Motors. Alternating-current polyphase motors are of the squirrel-cage, wound-rotor, or synchronous types. [Pg.403]

Restriction in starting current and a requirement for high starting torque to accelerate heavy rotating masses sometimes limit the use of a squirrel cage motor. For such applications a slip-ring motor provides a better alternative. [Pg.83]

This is the most common kind of alternating current motor used by the industry. The term squirrel cage vs usually... [Pg.621]

Induction Motors. An induction motor is an alternating-current motor in which a primary winding on one member (usually the stator) is connected to the power source and a polyphase secondary winding or a squirrel-cage secondary winding on the other member (usually the rotor) carries induced current. There are two types ... [Pg.403]
