In principle they can be exchanged but the result would be a more expensive motor.

Imagine an induction motor with the AC applied to the rotor. That would need slip rings and brushes which would need replacing now and again. All the customers would go for the other sort with the AC applied to the stator and a simple squirrel-cage on the rotor.

What type of motor has a stator?

An electric motor has a stator and a rotor. The stator does not move. The rotor rotates inside the stator.


What do you understand about the stator of an AC motor?

AC motor has two main winding components - stator and a rotor. Stator winding is stationary where as rotor winding is on rotating part.


How rotar rotates of DC motor?

The rotor in a DC motor rotates because the magnetic field in either the rotor or the stator is constantly changing. If it is a brush type DC motor, then the rotor field changes as the rotor moves to a new position on the commutator. If it is a brush-less type DC motor, then there is some circuitry associated with the stator that changes the stator field.


In a dc motor the input power is given to stator or rotor?

rotor


Why rotor slots is more than stator slots in induction motor?

rotor slot more. it is to get a large rotor inductance value of inductance the stator windings


Does induction motor has rotor winding?

Yes, the induction motor has a rotor winding. It is usually one turn, shorted. This is how the magnetic fields generated in the stator induce a current in the rotor, which subsequently generates a torque from the opposing magnetic fields, stator to rotor.


What is rotor?

rotor is the moving/rotating part of a motor/generator while stator is the stationary part.


What are the two magnets that push and pull in a motor?

The two magnets that push and pull in a motor are the stator magnet and the rotor magnet. The stator magnet is stationary and creates a magnetic field, while the rotor magnet is attached to the spinning rotor and interacts with the stator magnet to generate rotary motion.


What is mean by rotor in machines?

a ROTOR is basically any part of a machine that rotates. eg the armature in a motor a STATOR is the part of a machine that is stationary. ie the ROTOR revolves within the STATOR


What part in an electric motor roates?

The "rotor" rotates. The "stator" is stationary.


When you dismantle an electric motor what do you see?

Main parts such as rotor and stator.


What are the main parts of three phase motor?

Wire, bearings, rotor and stator.
