Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
induction machine
classification of any of a variety of electrical machines in which an AC current in the stator coils is used to produce a rotating magnetic flux that, by Faraday action, induces an AC voltage in a set of coils (the induction coils) on the machine's rotor. The rotor coils are shorted to cause a second AC current to flow in the rotor coils, which produces, in turn, a second rotating flux. The interaction of the rotor-and stator-produced fluxes creates torque.
