INDUCTION MOTOR Induction motor (IM): Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Equivalent to secondary short circuited Transformer.
Features: Singly excited machine. Rugged machine; No brushes. These are very economical and reliable. Self starting. Almost maintenance-free, except for bearing and other mechanical parts.
CONSTRUCTION
Basically, IM has two main parts: 1)Stator 2)Rotor
Stator : laminated core, slots, 3phase winding are placed in the Stator, winding may be in star or delta. Rotor : laminated core, slots, 3phase winding or squirrel cage winding. Squirrel cage induction motor : Bare copper or aluminum bars are embedded in the slots and are short circuited by using end rings. Wound rotor induction motor : Three phase insulated winding; Three slip rings and a star connected External resistor.
Rotating Magnetic field set up by applied 3 phase stator voltage. Induced voltage (E2) in rotor winding. Induced voltage causes current in rotor winding. Rotor current sets up rotor magnetic field; interaction of RMF and rotor field produces torque in the direction of RMF. As rotor speed increases rate at which rotor bars cut magnetic flux reduces which reduces E2. Reduced E2 -> reduced rotor current -> reduced stator current When load torque = motor developed torque, steady state speed occurs.

V/F Control
From the EMF equation of Induction machine E1 = 4.44 f Kw N1 Kw & N1 are constants; flux is proportional to E1/f.
By maintaining E1/f constant, the flux in the machine can be kept constant.
Neglecting voltage drop across the Armature resistance, keeping v/f constant, the flux in the machine can be kept constant. The torque is independent of the supplied frequency. Maximum torque is constant at all frequencies. Torque sensitivity per ampere of stator current is high. Fast transient response of the drive.
