Induction Motor
An induction motor is a type of alternating current (AC) electric motor that uses electromagnetic induction to generate motion, where the stator's magnetic field induces currents in the rotor without direct electrical contact. This design makes it highly efficient and low-maintenance, dominating applications from industrial machinery to home appliances due to its ability to handle variable speeds and loads seamlessly in modern energy systems.
Did you know?
Induction motors, thanks to Nikola Tesla's 1888 invention, power nearly 90% of the world's industrial motors, yet they were initially overlooked in favor of DC motors until Westinghouse adopted Tesla's design, sparking the AC revolution that electrified cities and industries globally.
