What is a Squirrel Cage Induction Motor ?Squirrel-cage induction motor definitionA squirrel cage induction motor is a motor with a rotor that looks like a squirrel cage and operates based on electromagnetism. The rotor is a steel-laminated cylindrical assembly containing a highly conductive metal such as aluminum or copper. When alternating current flows through the stator windings, it creates a rotating magnetic field. The process induces an electric current in the rotor, which creates its own
