Both have 3 a phase stator winding, the squirrel cage has a rotor with bars arranged around it's periphery, these bars are joined at both ends by a continuous ring. This forms a closed circuit of low resistance which is fixed. The wound rotor (slip ring motor) is similar in construction but the bars are replaced by copper windings, similar to those in the stator. They are star connected and the three ends are brought out to slip rings which allow an electrical connection to be made to the outside world. When no connection is made between these ends and the stator is energised, little current flows in the stator which does not turn, but when some resistance is inserted, current flows in the stator windings and the rotor rotates. As the rotor gains speed the resistance is taken out of circuit and the slip rings shorted together. The motor runs as a cage induction motor.

What is squirrel cage induction generator?
Squirrel cage type is a type of Induction motor. It tells that the rotor is "squirrel cage" type. Another type of induction motor is with "slip ring" type of rotor. Squirrel cage type is most widely used Induction motor.
What is the difference between vector control and Stator Voltage control method of induction motor?
I need the answer of this question plz!!
What are the different types of induction motors?
DOL(Direct Online starting) Star Delta starting Auto transformer starting Above methods are for squirrel cage induction motor Rotor resistance starting is used for wound rotor or slip ring induction motor
How does an induction motor develop torque?
The shaft of an AC induction motor rotates because of the torque created by the interaction between the magnetic field of the stator and the magnetic field of the rotor.
What is the similarity between an AC induction motor and an AC synchronous motor?
Only Stator winding is similar in both the cases.
Can a Squirrel Cage Induction motor can be converted to Slip Ring Induction Motor?
yes
What is squirrel cage induction generator?

Why is the squirrel cage induction motor one of the most reliable machines in industry?
because the squirrel cage induction motor is cheaper and high starting performance is not required.
Full form of scim and srim in three phase induction motor?
Slip Ring Induction Motor and Squirrel Cage Indution Motor
What is the useful of open end winding of induction motor?
Standard induction motor has a closed squirrel cage rotor, where as open ended induction motor has split phase rotor.
What is a slip in electricity?
it is the difference between the synchronous and asynchronous speed of a induction motor
Difference between transformer and induction motor?
1. Induction Motor has an air-gap but transformer has no air gap rather it is mutually link. 2. Induction Motor has high no-load current than transformer. 3. Induction Motor is a dynamic device. 4. Induction Motor has high power factor.
Applications of induction motor?
A single phase induction motor is mainly used in fans.It is capacitor start capacitor run induction motor.In three phase induction motor squirrel cage induction motor is mainly used in elevators,lifts,cranes.slip ring induction motor is mainly used in electrically driven ships.
Which motor doesn't have any winding on its rotor?
Squirrel cage induction motors.
Disadvantages of a squirrel cage motor?
Squirrel Cage Induction Motor Disadvantages:Some of disadvantages or demerits of squirrel cage induction motors are listed below:Main disadvantage of squirrel cage induction motor is that they have poor starting torque and high starting currents. Starting torque will be in the order of 1.5 to 2 times the full load torque and starting current is as high as 5 to 9 times the full load current. In slip ring induction motors, higher starting torque can be attained by providing an external resistance in the rotor circuits during starting of the slip-ring induction motor. This arrangement in slip-ring induction motors also reduces the high inrush currents during starting of induction motor.Squirrel cage induction motors are more sensitive to the supply voltage fluctuations. When the supply voltage is reduced, induction motor draws more current. During voltage surges, increase in voltage saturates themagnetic components of the squirrel cage induction motor.Speed control is not possible in squirrel cage induction motor. This is one of the major diadvantages of squirrel cage induction motors.The total energy loss during starting of squirrel cage motor is more compared to slip ring motors. This point is significant if the application involves frequent starting
Is three phase induction motor used for hoisting device?
ya three phase squirrel cage induction motor used to hoist travel application in industrial cranes
When will a synchornous motor acts as an induction motor?
If there is an extra winding called the "damper winding" in addition to the field winding.Then the synchronous motor will operate as a squirrel cage induction motor.Whats is a damper winding ?A damper winding is made up of copper bars which are placed in the slots in the pole faces of the rotor.These are short circuited with the help of end rings in a squirrel cage induction motor.
