Chapter 3: AC and DC Motors - AC Motors: Induction Motor Design

By Dave Polka
From Motors and Drives

Induction Motor Design
Engineers can design motors for almost any application by changing the design of the squirrel cage rotor and stator coils. Characteristics such as speed, torque, and voltage are just a few of the features controlled by the designer.

To standardize certain motor features, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has established standards for a number of motor features. The following section contains many of the features that will be helpful in selecting the right motor for a specific application.
