Hi, very nice video! Since you guys are talking about induction motors specifically, I would also mention that the rotor spins at a slower speed than the stator magnetic field (for an induction motor). The difference between the stator field's speed and the rotor's speed is called the slip speed and is a central object in induction motor control. The animation shows the rotor and stator spinning at the same speed, which is how it works in synchronous motors (synchronous => same => same speed). Also, the induction motor effectively works something like a transformer (with the stator being the primary and the rotor's bars kind of like a secondary). At least at an undergraduate level, we are taught to model induction motors in a very similar way to the circuit model for transformers. But, I understand this wasn't supposed to be a very technical overview. For anyone who would like more in-depth information, I suggest the book "Electrical Machines, Drives and Power Systems" by Theodore Wildi. :)

Very clear explanation the crux of the induction motor working - much better than some of the higher quality video productions here. In fact most of them miss to explain the key reason why the rotor actually rotates in contrast to your clear explanation. Thank you !

Great videos, Im retired from electrical field. Power Generation, Electrician, Lineman, Instructor... attended many classes rarely seen electrical basics presented completely accuratly, yes trouble shooting the instructor was my way of countering the boredom at times. You've done an exceptional series here, the subject materiel and supporting visuals are a great balance of keeping it short, simple yet very informative. i look forward to thd more advanced topics you hinted at. Heading over to get that cup of coffee you well deserved! Quick questio, where can I find a generator other than mechanically driven AC? Just kidding around. Thanks Paul DAColton

[@bushracanaan5037]

Thank you guys very much I spent 5 years in the school of engineering never getting a clear vision on this particular concept

[@_Wai_Wai_]

Those engineering professors were very bad at getting their point across. I feel some of them are just poor health and burnt out from the other things they were involved in.

[@jdeere1837]

One important missing part is an explanation of how the magnetic field is induced into the rotor. It is not a permanent magnet, as might be inferred from the animation., but rather is an electromagnet created by the current induced into the squirrel cage bars. How that occurs is not at all obvious, except to Nikola Tesla, who invented it. I, and most of us I think, need to have it explained.

[@DrPowerElectronics]

Indeed. The Rotor N and S go around as in the annimation, BUT you are right the bars and therefore the rotor has a very small 'slip' so goes at a little lower speed so the annimation is sadly wrong. Hence the US call it an Asynchronous motor. The small 'slip' is to give us flux cutting and therefore the volts in the rotor bars and the current. It is tricky to annimate well and this one is very close as EVERYTHING is synchronous EXCEPT the rotor. Even the rotor current pattern (as the magnetic fields have to be synchronous.)

[@arielmcdowny2367]

Thank you, glad I read the comments first before watching the video. I searched for induction motor to know how the magnetic field is induced since there is no permanent magnets presents.

[@johnkeepin7527]

Well presented; in particular, the graphics showing how it works is clear. A bit further on, one could add that 3 phase motors are now often used under variable frequency, to control the speed - loads of them in use as ‘traction motors’ now, both on the roads and the railways. Traction motors are often also used as alternators for regenerative braking, so one could mention that they can be controlled that way round by varying the electrical load, either by charging batteries or feeding back into the supply grid. To some extent, this became possible due to the advent of high power electronics for dc/ac inverters (IGBT), but that’s another subject!

My question is: When the rotating stator field induces a field in the rotor, does the rotor chase the stator field or does the rotor get pushed around by the stator field (repelled by the like poles in the stator)? In other words, does the squirrel drive the cage or does the cage make the squirrel run?

[@yungmaz13]

Baldrick, if u explain more clearly i may be able to help u, by stator field do u mean magnetic field? Because a stator is a component of the motor i dont think theres any such thing as a stator field

[@edgeeffect]

A thought I have many times when working with motors is "Who keeps squirrels in cages anyway?!"

[@JasonMasters]

Whenever I heard the term, I always thought of the hamster and mouse exercise wheels rather than actual cages.

[@justinclark9258]

It's supposed to be a cage to keep squirrels out.

[@donnajones1603]

Obviously an ingenious individual that captures the pesky little varmint then puts it to work spinning its cage similar to the rotor except it relies on squirrel muscle instead of electrical input for rotation. Although direction is random whereas with a three-phase electric motor direction of rotation is easily determined and maintained by changing any two wiring connections.... simplicity itself especially for common backward inclined fans, or pumps in which direction is paramount for proper operation & corresponding amp draw.

[@Elektron318]

Good for basic understanding

[@vedymin7]

Hi :) in 9:33 ithink it should be: "Place the rotor inside", not "Place the stator inside". Right?

[@BobbyBouche00]

[@sharrybhai9217]

Superb ExplanaTi0n❤❤❤

[@jatindermadan]

Excellent video explanation

[@alfajuj]

I think it's helpful to visualize the stator as the primary coil of a transformer, with the shorted field of the rotor as the secondary side of the transformer. That's how the field can be induced into the rotor without brushes. (Tesla's goal was to eliminate the brushes) Asynchronicity (inherent slip) is an important characteristic of induction motors which needs to be explained. This is why they are also referred to as "asynchronous motors". Due to Lenz's law, the rotor has to actually lag behind the rotating magnetic field in the stator for the induced current to occur in the rotor. If the rotor actually catches up, the induced current in the rotor fades away. So the operating speed will always be less than the synchronous speed.

Excellent description

[@ketoman4057]

I get it (I think), with 3 phase the gaps between peaks (and troughs) are smaller than with 1 phase, so you get close to a direct current effect which is continuous, hence more power?

Well today is the day I learned that the fan, brings in air to the fins on the ends of the pump keeping it cool wow. But think the cover for the fun, helps guide the win to the fins?

[@ryanscott8232]

In your example at 9:30, your magnetic field is going the wrong way. And in the sine wave the strength actually goes R B Y R B Y, not R Y B R Y B like you explained. Because the after the positive R peak, the next strongest was the negative B peak, then the positive W, then the negative R, then the positive B, then the negative W, the back to positive R.

[@tangled5529]

Is there an error 9:34 "We can then place the stator inside"...shouldn't that be "rotor"?

[@timothysands5537]

What device is used to manipulate the magnetic fields on the rotor? I know armatures are used on small dc motors with brush contacts, but how do you make an electrical connection to the moving rotor? *Update* I found out that DC motors that use only wire to generate both fields on the rotor and on the stator are referred to as 'Series wound' electric motors. They typically use a commutator with carbon brushes to contact the moving rotor - thus changing which coil is creating a magnetic field on the rotor.

Something that always bothered me is the face that I can't seem to come up with a good explanation of why the rotor of an induction motor works.

The rotor becomes a temporary magnet when power is applied. The brushes supply power to the commutator( the conductors that run across the rotor illustrated in the video) and this is what gives this hunk of metal it's magnetic property.

[@nickpierpoint4116]

So is the magnetic field created on the rotor bars attracted to the field of the stator or repelled by it? Nobody really explains the direction of the induced current on the bars and how we can work this out and the henceforth produced magnetic field, how do we explain the direction of the forces created by induction?

[@ricksmit2239]

i have noticed something that i would like to ask an engineer about... in DC motors u have the coils inducing a magnetic field that works against a PERMANENT ferrite(black iron cobalt magnet) magnet in order to turn... but in AC induction motors the the coils are stationary on the stator so in my mind the magnetic force to work against the coils' magnetic force must come from the rotor, but I have opened an AC house fan before and i saw that the rotor has minimal to weak at best to noo magnetism on it to counter the coils,, so my question is, HOW can they be so strong and fast is the magnetic field that is responsible for the turning is so weak?

[@JasonMasters]

The key is in the name: Induction Motor. The electric current through the stator coils produces a magnetic field from the stator which cuts across the rotor, inducing an electric current in it which then produces its own magnetic field, which naturally opposes the magnetic field from the stator. The rotor turns because its induced opposing magnetic field is "trying to get away from" the stator's magnetic field. The stator can never complete this action because the alternating current keeps changing the magnetic field, so the stator keeps on turning so long as the alternating current exists. Or more simply, the stator's magnetic field turns the rotor into a magnet, temporarily. You can see a related effect if you hang a chain of paper clips from a magnet. If you hang onto the first paper clip, closest to the magnet, and move the magnet away, all the other paper clips fall away.

Please explain how the capacitors help in starting of a 1-phase induction motor

[@photojunky7342]

Hi there I'm a motor winder and mechanic. Essentially there are two types of capacitors used in a motor. A run capacitor and a start capacitor. The run capacitor, which is usually a silver canister, is mostly used for efficiencies these days. It helps to clean up the sine waves and allow for cleaner current. Start capacitors are normally a black plastic canister. These build up a generally much larger charge and are in series with the start windings of the motor. When the motor starts these take on a charge and are discharged into the start windings giving the motor the extra torque needed to start in a short amount of time.

[@vigneshp2737]

I have one small doubt about how the magnetic field could create or induced another magnetic field , which means that how the stator will create magnetic field to the rotors. I know only when the current passes only magentic field will create can you please explain how it's happening.???
