Rotor
What is the difference between stator and rotor?
Rotor consists of the rotating part of a motor whereas a stator constitutes of the stationary part of the motor.
Why is rotor speed less than stator speed?
This is because if rotor speed was excessive there would be no relative speed between stator field and rotor conductors. Since there will be no induced rotor currents, there will be no torque to drive the rotor. Hence rotor speed is always less than stator field speed.
What is rotor frequency?
It is the frequency of alternating current flowing in rotor winding.
What is Rotor?
Rotors are a fundamental part of electrical machines and play an important role in their operation. Rotor is the rotating part of an induction motor. It is connected to the mechanical load through the shaft. There are various designs of rotors available on the basis of application and type of machine, such as squirrel cage or wound type.
In this article we will go through the definition of the Rotor with its construction in detail with its diagram, we will also go through the classification of Rotors and difference between stator and rotor, At last we will conclude our article with some of its applications and FAQs.
