Abstract
A notable feature of induction motors, including polyphase motors, is their very simple construction, which illustrates two dismantled 3-phase induction motors. Their being relatively inexpensive and needing little maintenance as well as their being operable directly from the 3-phase mains supply without needing intermediate circuitry has led to the widespread use of induction motors. In this chapter, the operation, performance and applications of 3-phase and single-phase mains-energised induction motors are discussed. In addition, a fundamental consideration is given to the rules concerning rotating and alternating fields, to their generation in polyphase windings and to their function in induction motors.
