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.
