3-phase induction
Explore how a rotating magnetic field produces torque in a squirrel-cage rotor.
Open simulator →Interactive engineering lab
Built for students, teachers and the curious. Open a component, change its real electrical parameters, and watch the 3D model and characteristic curves respond as you go.
Explore how a rotating magnetic field produces torque in a squirrel-cage rotor.
Open simulator →Explore how brushes and a commutator keep the armature torque rotating in one direction.
Open simulator →Observe how the inverter energizes three-phase stator windings in sequence to rotate a permanent-magnet rotor.
Open simulator →See why a synchronous rotor locks exactly to the rotating field — and what happens when the load pulls it out of step.
Open simulator →Watch the rotor advance one discrete step per pulse — and see what happens when the pulse rate outruns the available torque.
Open simulator →See how a closed loop holds the rotor on the commanded speed — and how the following error grows with speed until you raise the loop gain.
