23Asynchronous Motors
Asynchronous motors (ASM) require little maintenance, are simple and sturdy in their construction, and are the most widely used motors. In this chapter, only this type of motor will be dealt with. For other types of motors, the books [65, 66]. ASM have a fixed field winding and are connected to a three‐phase power line. The armature (rotor) is arranged according to this. The rotating field revolves spatially with the rated frequency. The rotor moves asynchronously that is not simultaneously with the speed of rotation of the stator field. Instead, the speed of rotation of the rotor trails the speed of rotation of the rotating stator field due to the slip.
