How does an induction motor work?
Ein An induction motor, also called an asynchronous motor, generates a rotating field in the stator. This induces a voltage in the rotor, which then turns. The slip is crucial: the rotor turns slightly slower than the magnetic field, generating torque. An industrial motor, for example, a, auch Asynchronmotor genannt, erzeugt ein Drehfeld im Stator. Dieses induziert eine Spannung im Rotor, der sich daraufhin dreht. Entscheidend ist der Schlupf: Der Rotor dreht sich geringfügig langsamer als das Magnetfeld, wodurch Drehmoment entsteht. Ein Industriemotor, beispielsweise ein 230V induction motor with 4 poles, runs at approximately 1450 revolutions per minute at a 50Hz mains frequency instead of the synchronous 1500. ATEK also offers matching capacitor AC motor variations.
- The basic principle is based on a rotating field generated in the stator, which induces a voltage in the rotor.
- The rotor turns due to the induced current, with the slip (difference speed to the field) producing the torque.
- There is a primary distinction between single-phase and three-phase induction motors.
- Single-phase motors often require a capacitor to generate the starting rotating field.
- Three-phase motors generally offer a higher efficiency and are suitable for larger industrial applications.
- In contrast to synchronous motors, induction motors run asynchronously, i.e., at a slightly lower speed than the stator field.
- Synchronous motors, on the other hand, run exactly synchronously with the field and are used for precision applications.
What types of induction motors are there?
Induction motors are mainly distinguished between single-phase and three-phase versions. Single-phase induction motors for 230V often require a capacitor to generate the starting rotating field. An example is the capacitor motor, a typical design of the 230V induction motor,which is used in machine tools or pumps up to about 3 kW power. Three-phase motors, like the YE2 series, often have a higher efficiency and are commonly found in large industrial applications.
The difference from the synchronous motor
In contrast to the synchronous motor, the rotor speed of an induction motor is lower than the synchronous speed of the stator field (asynchronous motor). Synchronous motors run exactly synchronously with the field and are suitable for precision applications, such as in robotics. Induction motors, including the widely used,, are characterized by robustness and simplicity. For many standard applications, the 230V induction motor, zeichnen sich durch Robustheit und Einfachheit aus. Für viele Standardanwendungen ist der light current motor is a common choice.Carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of 230V induction motors.
What are the advantages of an induction motor?
Induction motors, including the widely used, are known for their robust construction and long service life, making them economical. This is particularly true for the 230V induction motor. For example, ATEK motors asynchronous motors have been running in a customer’s filling plant in the food industry for over 15 years without major maintenance. Their simple, low-maintenance design is a significant advantage.

Are there any disadvantages?
Speed control in single-phase motors with starting capacitor, as commonly seen, can be complex and is often not directly achievable with frequency converters. Starting capacitors and centrifugal switches are unsuitable for variable frequencies. Additionally, the starting current can be up to seven times higher than the rated current, which needs to be considered when designing the supply line and protection.Induction motors, including the widely used, mit Anlaufkondensator, wie sie häufig als 230V induction motor vorkommen, kann komplex sein und ist mit Frequenzumrichtern oft nicht direkt realisierbar. Anlaufkondensator und Fliehkraftschalter sind für variable Frequenzen ungeeignet. Zudem kann der Anlaufstrom bis zu siebenmal höher als der Nennstrom sein, was bei der Auslegung von Zuleitung und Absicherung zu beachten ist.

- Consider the necessary design of the motor for integration.
- Select the appropriate protection class (IP rating) according to the environmental conditions (dust, humidity).
- Check the required starting torque, especially for applications with load starting.
- Clarify whether there are special requirements such as high starting torques or special installation conditions that require custom solutions.
Important selection criteria
When selecting, in addition to power (kW) and speed (rpm), design and protection class are relevant for durability and safety. A motor for 230V in a dusty environment (e.g. sawmill) requires at least protection class IP54, in humid areas IP55 or higher. The starting torque is also important, especially for applications with load starting, such as agitators in the chemical industry.
Consider specific requirements
