The speed of the rotor is not synchronous with the speed of the rotating magnetic

field produced by the stator windings, which is why the machine is called an
asynchronous machine. The difference in speed between the rotor and the rotating
magnetic field is called slip. The amount of slip depends on the load on the
machine and can range from zero at no load to a maximum value at full load.
