Wound rotor (or slip ring rotor) The squirrel cage rotor isa solid cylindrical structure with grooves made at regular intervals throughoy the length of the cylinder, In these grooves, molten conducting material is poured (which gets hardened which takes the shape of strips that are actually called the winding of the squirrel cage rotor. Since the bag material of the rotor is not electrically conducting, these conducting strips are connected electrically by tye ‘conducing rings, which are put at the two ends of the rotor.

Hence this type of motor is also called sip ring induction motor. The ds of the resistances are connected together, thus again ensuring that the rotor here i ‘circuit too. Operation ion of a 3-@ IM can be understood as follows: three-phase supply is given to the stator of a 3-9 IM, a rotating magnetic field in the air gap between the stator and the rotor.
