Induction Motors and End Rings

short-circuiting - definition of short-circuiting by the Free ...

Well, I believe you will find lots of books over this. This is the fundamental principle of operation of a squirrel cage induction motor. There is nothing new here.

Hi wingman1985. I notice that all your posts read like copied homework questions. Perhaps you might like to post these in the Education section.

Just a bit of correction (to J451)

This gentleman - let me guess - is a maintenance man. 1985 shows he is just out of college- he is finding things not probably from homework, most likely from either Erection or maintenance manuals of equipments (terminologies like assembly bullets, the valve terminologies, the gland steam leakage- are all the terms used in these manuals, guides or brochures)

Hence we can humor him.

What you are looking at is a typical SQIM (Squirrel cage Induction Motor) And exactly those ened shortings give it the shape and hence the name of the confinement of Kris.

Google it and you will find it even better go through any textbook on Electrical Motors and you will get the idea (We old people still prefer papyrus)

Touchy lot aren't they? The short circuiting end rings just means that the ends of all the conductors are electrically tied together. That is all the ends of the conductors are all tied together on each end. It looks a bit like the wheel that hamsters run on down in the pet shop. Back in the day some people kept squirrels as pets and they ran in similar wheels, hence the name.
