This motor is quite different from a D.C. motor because supply is not given to its rotor (armature) but the e.m.f. is induced in the rotor when stator is supplied which produces current in the rotor and the motor runs. Thus this motor is called induction motor. Nowadays for each work at each place A.C. single phase or 3phase motor is used.
The parts of this motor are as follows:-
1.Stator.
2.Rotor.
3.End cover.
4.Bearing.
5.Fan.
1.Stator: This is made of high silicon steel strips 0.3 to 1.35mm thick combining together which are called laminated strips and combination is called laminated core. The core has open or semi closed slots. In these slots winding is done. This core is fitted in a frame so that any external mechanical injury may not take place and rotor may rotet easily.
2.Rotor: It is also made of high Silicon steel strips 0.3 to 1.35 mm thick combining together. It has closed type slots in which winding is done. The winding is done with thick strips or rods. Nowadays melted aluminum is filled in these slots which work as winding. In big motor thick copper rods are inserted in the slots and end rings are connected (shorted) at the end of the rods by gas welding. This winding is called squirrel cage winding.
3.End cover: These are made of cast iron and keep the rotor exact in the centre of this stator so that the rotor may move easily. These are fitted with blots with the stator frame. The frame also is made of cast iron.
4.Bearing: Mostly in 3 phase motors ball bearings are used and small single phase motor bush bearings are used. Their working is to give the rotor free rotation in the stator.
5.Fan: In motor, its working is to cool the motor. Mostly these are made of cast iron and fitted on the rotor shaft. When the motor runs on load, the heat is produced in the motor due to losses. If this heat is not transferred out, the winding will be brunt. The fan serves the purpose of transferring heat from inside to outside of the motor. It sucks the cold air from the atmosphere. This air comes inside the motor through holes and goes out after cooling the winding of the motor. In many motors this fan is fitted on the rotor near to the winding and in many motors it is fitted outside the cover I.e. after fitting the cover and then a M.S.sheet or cast iron. Fan,cover is fitted which cover this fan.
