The Four-Pole Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor consists of a 3-phase machine rated at 2 kW. Each phase of the stator winding is accessible via the connection module to allow wye or delta connections. The machine is equipped with a standard cast-aluminum squirrel cage rotor.

The winding dimensions permit the study of machine operation as a squirrel-cage induction motor or as an asynchronous generator when driven by a prime mover.

The machine has a 5-turn, full-pitch stator search coil to allow the observation of the instantaneous flux distribution.
