This invention aims at developing an Induction Motor that consumes less power than existing Induction Motors. An efficient Induction motor comprises a stator that includes three field windings and a rotor that includes rotor conductors short-circuited at both ends by end rings located at both ends of rotor. A field winding comprises a number of pairs of North pole and South pole. There are three full-wave rectifiers. Each of the three full-wave rectifiers converts a phase current of a three phase alternating current supply into a unidirectional current varying with time and delivers the converted current exclusively to a field winding. As a result, poles of the field winding generate fluctuating magnetic flux. A rotor conductor cuts said fluctuating magnetic flux thereby inducing an emf in said rotor conductor and consequently generating current in it. The direction of said magnetic flux and the direction of said current flowing in said rotor conductor are perpendicular to each other. Said rotor conductor moves in a direction perpendicular to both the direction of said magnetic flux and said rotor conductor current thereby rotates the rotor. |
