Four-Pole Squirrel Cage Motor

Description
The Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor is a 0.2 kW squirrel-cage induction machine mounted in a full-size EMS module. The machine stator windings are independently connected (six jacks), allowing connection in either wye or delta configuration. Connections to the machine are made through color-coded safety banana jacks located on the front panel on the module. The machine has a thermistor output that allows monitoring of the machine internal temperature to prevent overheating. A tensioner bearing can be ordered as an option.
The front panel of the Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor module can be opened to install a Timing Belt on the pulley of the machine shaft. This permits mechanical coupling of this machine to the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply. When driven by a prime mover, the Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor operates as a three-phase asynchronous generator.
