Squirrel Cage vs Wound Rotor Motors
Squirrel Cage vs Wound Rotor Motors
The main difference between the two types lies in the structure of
rotor; to be more precise, in the first type the rotor is
made up of several windings like those of the stator, presents a
more complex and delicate structure (brushes that rub against the
rotor, with the possible interposition of resistors for control of
the startup phase) with the need for periodic maintenance and
elevated overall dimensions, while the second type has
a rotor composed of bars short-circuited, by
which, thanks to greater constructive simplicity, gives rise to a
very simple, robust, and economical type of engine.
The stator coils induce alternating current in the circuit.
