Induktionsmaskiner
Induktionsmaskiner, often referred to as induction machines or asynchronous machines, are a type of AC electric motor or generator. Their operation relies on the principle of electromagnetic induction. In a motor, a rotating magnetic field is produced by the stator windings, which induces a current in the rotor. This induced current creates its own magnetic field, which then interacts with the stator's field, causing the rotor to turn. The speed of an induction motor is slightly less than the synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field, hence the term "asynchronous."
The most common type is the squirrel-cage induction motor, characterized by a rotor constructed with conductive
As generators, induction machines can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They typically require an external
