Understanding Rotor RMF in Squirrel Cage & Slip Ring Induction Motors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the concept of rotor rotating magnetic field (R-RMF) in both squirrel cage induction motors (SCIM) and slip ring induction motors (SRIM). In SRIM, the three-phase supply to the stator generates an RMF that induces an electromotive force (emf) in the rotor winding, producing its own RMF stationary with respect to the stator. In contrast, SCIM generates R-RMF through short-circuited rotor bars and end rings, differing significantly in operational details despite similar underlying principles. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effective motor design and application.

is the rotor rotating magnetic field(R-RMF) present in squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM).

Is it same as in 3 phase ROTOR winding of slip ring induction motor (SRIM), generating rotor RMF.

* THE 3 phase, supply given to stator 3 phase winding of SRIM, generates (RMF), which cuts the rotor 3 phase winding of SRIM, now this flux cutting action results in emf induction and thus current flow in 3 phase rotor winding of SRIM, due to current, the rotor winding generates its own RMF, this RMF is stationery with respect to stator RMF, thus torque production.

so now, is the above described pattern same in SCIM too, if yes, then how is ROTOR RMF generated, with just rotor bars short circuited with end rings (ie in absence of 3 phase rotor winding).
