Stator with three fields 120 degrees appart receiving triphasic energy (dephased 120 egrees in time), it is producing a rotating magnetic flux on the rotor. The rotor is also ferromagnetic but with a conductive cage all around, the rotating flux will produce eddy currents on the cage trying to decrease the flux with a counter-flux but due to the inductive impedance the current (hence the flux) is delayed, this geometrical dephasing between rotating stator flux and rotor counter-flux pulls the rotor jn an attemp to line up, this torque is used to move the load with a rotating speed slightly below than synchonous one, this difference (known as slip) increase with the torque required to move the load.
