The operation of AC motors
-[FONT="] [/FONT]A 3-phase AC current, which are 120 degrees out of phase with each other, is passed through the 3 pairs of electromagnets on the stator, and this produces a rotating magnetic field.
-[FONT="] [/FONT]As a result, the rotor experiences a change in flux, and induces a current (Faraday’s Law).
-[FONT="] [/FONT]The induced current generates a magnetic field that opposes the original change in flux (Lenz’s Law).
-[FONT="] [/FONT]As a result, the induced eddy currents generate a magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field produced by the rotating magnetic fields of the stator.
-[FONT="] [/FONT]This causes the rotor to be “dragged” along with the rotating magnetic field caused by the stator, hence causing it to rotate in the same direction as the moving magnetic field.
i dont get how the rotor gets dragged along with the rotating magnetic field DUE to the induced eddy currents generating a magneic field that opposes the original magnetic field produced by the stator
