ECE 441 4
Cause the rotor to turn clockwise
Rotor conductors cut
through the main pole
flux.
Current is induced in
the rotor bars as
shown, producing a
magnetic flux
perpendicular to the
main pole flux. This is
known as “Quadrature”
flux.
ECE 441 5
The quadrature flux is
sustained as the rotor
conductors shift their
positions – other
conductors replace them.
