Question:

Difference between squirrel cage and wound rotor induction motor.?

The Advantage and Disadvantage of each.The Characteristics of each.

Answer:

A squirrel-cage rotor is the rotating part (rotor) used in the most common form of AC induction motor. It consists of a cylinder of steel with aluminum or copper conductors embedded in its surface. An electric motor with a squirrel-cage rotor is termed a squirrel-cage motor. A wound-rotor motor is a type of induction motor where the rotor windings are connected through slip rings to external resistances. Adjusting the resistance allows control of the speed/torque characteristic of the motor. Wound-rotor motors can be started with low inrush current, by inserting high resistance into the rotor circuit; as the motor accelerates, the resistance can be decreased
