•Comparing with synchronous motor No dc field current is required to run the machine.
•Instead, amortisseur windingsare installed in the rotor.
•The machine is called “Induction” because the rotor 3
•The machine is called “Induction” because the rotor voltage is inducedin the rotor windings rather than physically connected by wires.
•It is possible to use an induction machine as motor or generator, but there are many disadvantages to use it as generator.
