electric-machineinduction motor

In 3 phase induction motor how many phase will be generated in wound type and squirrel cage rotor? If we consider a generator when the rotor rotates there will be voltage induced in every pole of stator but for motor case our assistant said it is 1 phase.

Best Answer

On a Wound Rotor Induction Motor, the rotor windings are separate phases so the output is indeed 3 phase. If you look at the circuit below for a "slip recovery system" for a Wound Rotor Induction Motor, you will see that.
