What is a 3-phase or 1-phase induction motor?

A 1-phase or 3-phase induction motor paired with a variable frequency drive is certainly the most common motor for controlling the speed and moving a load.

Connecting a 1-phase or 3-phase motor to a variable frequency drive is ideal for applications like lifts. In fact, this application requires precision in speed and for the position of the lift cabin.

The induction electric motor is robust by itself and requires little maintenance, which makes it essential. EASI-Spare offers you this induction motor for sale, a motor which is widely used in the industrial sector.

How does an induction electric motor operate?

Operating a 3-phase or 1-phase induction motor is quite simple, it is based on the creation of an electric current induced in a conductor inside a rotating magnetic field (speed of the rotating field). Besides, this conductor is one of the bars of the squirrel cage that constitutes the rotor of the induction electric motor. The induction of the current is possible only if the conductor is in short-circuit. It is normally the case because the 2 side-rings are connected to the bars of the squirrel cage.

Moreover, when generating the driving force on the conductor, it creates the electrical energy. In fact, this one is crossed by a current placed in a variable or rotating magnetic field. The rotating direction is given by the right-hand rule. 

At a given moment, the rotating field faces upward. If you consider the two conductors as diametrically opposed, we can see that the induced currents of the two conductors’ induction motor are in the opposite direction.

Hence, these conductors create driving forces in the opposite direction when associated with magnetic field. Then, the induction electric motor rotor is free to turn on the axis XY. The 2 forces combine to create a torque which makes the squirrel cage turn, the rotation being the basis for an electric motor. 

The maintenance for the three-phase or single-phase motor rotation is simple, it needs to vary the current in the conductors of the cage or the magnetic field. It is indeed the magnetic field which varies in the form of a rotating field, creating the stator in an induction electric motor.

We offer you at EASI-Spare a wide choice of three-phase or single-phase induction motors according to your needs. Do not hesitate to contact us to know more about it, we are always available to help you choose the electric motor that you need.
