When the three-phase AC power supply is applied to the stator windings, a rotating

magnetic field is created in the air gap between the stator and rotor. The rotating
magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the rotor conductors, which
causes a current to flow through the conductors. This current in turn creates its
own magnetic field, which interacts with the rotating magnetic field produced by
the stator windings, causing the rotor to rotate.
