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.


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.

What type classification would a motor with copper bars in the rotor fall into?

although this is not a chemistry question I do have an answer for you. A motor with copper bars is classified as a shaded pole motor. They are low torque motors and do not require any capacitors for run or start functions. hope that helped


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.


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)


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.


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.


What is the purpose of a squirell cage?

A squirrel cage, often referred to as a squirrel cage fan or motor, is designed to provide efficient airflow in various applications, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. It consists of a cylindrical rotor with blades that spins to create a high volume of air movement with relatively low noise levels. The design allows for effective cooling and ventilation by drawing air in and pushing it out with minimal resistance. Squirrel cage fans are widely used in residential and industrial settings for their durability and efficiency.
