What is the working principle of Three Phase Induction Motor?

A 3 phase induction motor is an electric motor that operates using


alternating current.These Three phase induction motor the power is
transferred from stator to rotor winding through induction.it is more
efficient and powerful in the performance as well as endurance. 3 phase
induction motors are used in almost all machinery system of the ship such
as crane motor, propulsion motor, blower motor, sea water pump motor,
and even small synchronous motor.

Types of Three Phase Induction Motor-


• Squirrel cage three phase induction motor
• Slip ring or wound three phase induction motor

Advantages and Disvantages of Three Phase Induction Motor

Three phase induction motors are widely used for various industrial
applications because of their following advantages -

1. They have very simple and rugged (almost unbreakable) construction


2. they are very reliable and having low cost
3. they have high efficiency and good power factor
4. minimum maintenance required
5. 3 phase induction motor is self starting hence extra starting motor or
any special starting arrangement is not required
They also have some disadvantages are :

1. Speed decreases with increase in load, just like a DC shunt motor


2. If speed is to be varied, we have sacrifice some of its efficiency

Basic Components of Three Phase Induction Motor

Below are listed basic compponets of the three-phase induction motor:

• Stator frame,
• Stator core,
• Stator winding or field winding.
• Rotor
• Rotor Winding
• Cooling Fan
• Bearings
