This lecture explores the construction of an asynchronous motor, focusing on the stator and rotor structures. The stator features distributed windings and notches for creating a rotating magnetic field, while the rotor can be wound or squirrel-cage type, with aluminum injected into stacked laminations. Different rotor types and winding methods are discussed, highlighting the efficiency of using injected aluminum or copper over traditional wire windings.
