The configuration of the rotor resembles the exercise wheel found in a squirrel cage. There is also a 'squirrel cage fan' that also is named for the resemblance.

What is squirrel cage induction generator?
Squirrel cage type is a type of Induction motor. It tells that the rotor is "squirrel cage" type. Another type of induction motor is with "slip ring" type of rotor. Squirrel cage type is most widely used Induction motor.
Why is the squirrel cage motor used in most industry?
because the squirrel cage induction motor is cheaper and high starting performance is not required.
Is three phase induction motor used for hoisting device?
ya three phase squirrel cage induction motor used to hoist travel application in industrial cranes
Why squirrel cage motor is NOT suitable for use as a DC machine?
A 'squirrel cage' rotor is used in an a.c. inductionmotor, meaning that there is no electrical supply to that rotor with the currents in the rotor , instead, being the result of induced voltages caused by currents flowing in the field windings. A rotor of a d.c. motor, is electrically connected to the supply. The two types of motor work on completely different principles, so cannot use a squirrel cage rotor.
How does a squirrel cage work - 3 pahse?
A squirrel cage rotor is the rotating part often used in an AC induction motor. An electric motor with a squirrel cage rotor is sometimes called a squirrel cage motor.a squrriel cage works by following the magnetic field in a 3 phase synchronous motor called ammortisurr winding.Synchronous motors must use other types of rotors although they may employ a squirrel cage winding to allow them to reach near-synchronous speed while starting. Once operating at synchronous speed, the magnetic field is rotating at the same speed as the rotor, so no current will be induced into the squirrel cage windings and they will have no further effect on the operation of the synchronous motor.it works the same as a clutch on a car,disengage clutchpower the pony motor - cant bring motor to full speed. normally up to 95%connect 3 phase to synchronous statorconnect DC to synchronous rotor - when this is connected it is 100%then engage clutch to run motorby anoynomus - ND electronic engineer
What is the hermetic motor?
Hermetic motors are motors used in hermetic compressors. Hermetic motor use wound stators and squirrel cage rotors, without shaft bearings and have a relatively tight design.
What is the motor that is the most common type of motor system used on hermetically sealed units?
most probably it should be a squirrel cage induction motor since it needs very less maintenance.however it also depends on the application.
Applications of induction motor?
A single phase induction motor is mainly used in fans.It is capacitor start capacitor run induction motor.In three phase induction motor squirrel cage induction motor is mainly used in elevators,lifts,cranes.slip ring induction motor is mainly used in electrically driven ships.
Why short circuiting rings are used in squirrel cage motor?
Squirrel Cage motor is a kind of Induction Motor. The reason an induction motor sometimes refered to a rotating transformer is because the stator (Primary windings in a transformer), which is powered to set up a magnetic field induces a current in the armature coils (secondar coils in a transformer). However, instead of giving an electrical power output, the coil is short circuited to produce mechanical output (torque in this case)
What is a squirrel cage blower used for?
A squirrel cage blower is used to move air...the fan component is a large finned cylinder that looks a bit like a hamster's exercise wheel...hence the name.
Why is a three phase induction motor also known as a squirrel cage induction motor?
If you ever had a hamster as a kid, visualize the wheel that it used to exercise on. When the iron portion of the motor's rotor is removed this is the overall shape of the conductors embedded in the rotor. It is in this winding that the current is induced into. This in turn creates a magnetic field in the rotor that locks onto the revolving magnetic field in the stator. As for the terminology, a hamster cage induction motor does not convey the image of a motor that can do any heavy work. Its all about the spin, a squirrel is larger and stronger than a hamster and I guess that is about the largest caged animal that can use a wheel for exercising.Additional CommentAt the time when 'squirrel cage' motors were developed, people kept squirrels (rather than hamsters or gerbils) as pets.
How Synchronous motor work with principal?
A synchronous motor comprises of a stator windings and a rotor with a squirrel cage and inside that is windings(coils). At starting, this motor is an induction motor running with slip. After the rotor has reached a certain speed, a DC current is applied to the windings inside the squirrel cage. A fixed field is induced in these windings. This field locks in with the synchronous rotating magnetic flux of the stator windings. The rotating stator windings then pull the rotor along. The amount of excitation current can be used to control the power factor of the motor, making this a popular type of motor for high power use with a constant mechanical load.
