Asynchronous Motors are among motor types. The reason they are called so that that do not rotate at a constant speed. These motors convert electric energy to mechanical energy. In this way, they meet need of mechanical energy. Asynchronous motors are also called induction motors.
Areas for Use of Asynchronous Motors
Because of its characteristics, asynchronous motor is one of the motors used much. It is mostly used in the industry. Asynchronous motors are used for washing machines, refrigerators, fans, cranes, compressors, lifts, pumps and breakers.
Advantages of Asynchronous Motors for the Users
Asynchronous motors provide many advantages to their users. The most important advantage is that these motors do not require much maintenance. As these motors are sound, their users do not have to perform maintenance frequently. It is another advantage that these motors do not cause arc during operation. As it is, asynchronous motors are preferred in the environments with explosion possibility. Among the advantages of the asynchronous motor is high efficiency. Furthermore, these motors are also attractive in terms of price and they are cheaper compared to other current motors.
