A rotating magnetic field is the resultant magnetic field produced by a system of coils symmetrically placed and supplied with polyphase currents. A rotating magnetic field can be produced by a poly-phase (two or more phases) current or by a single phase current provided that, in the latter case, two field windings are supplied and are so designed that the two resulting magnetic fields generated thereby are out of phase.
Rotating magnetic fields are often utilized for electromechanical applications, such as induction motors, electric generators and induction regulators.
In 1824, the French physicist François Arago formulated the existence of rotating magnetic fields using a rotating copper disk and a needle, termed “Arago's rotations.” English experimenters Charles Babbage and John Herschel found they could induce rotation in Arago's copper disk by spinning a horseshoe magnet under it, with English scientist Michael Faraday later attributing the effect to electromagnetic induction. In 1879, English physicist Walter Baily replaced the horseshoe magnets with four electromagnets and, by manually turning switches on and off, demonstrated a primitive induction motor.
The idea of a rotating magnetic field in an AC motor was explored by the Italian physicist and electrical engineer Galileo Ferraris and the Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. Ferraris wrote about researching the concept and built a working model in 1885. Tesla attempted several (unsuccessful) designs and working models through the early 1880s before building a working prototype in 1887 According to Ferraris principle of rotating magnetic field, Friedrich August Haselwander developed the first AC 3 phase generator in 1887. In 1888, Ferraris published his research in a paper to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Turin and Tesla obtained a United States patent () for his design. Based on the Haselwander generator, Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky will develop a three-phase generator and motor for the world's first three-phase power plant built in 1891 in Frankfurt, Germany.

En électricité et en électronique, le mot phase est utilisé dans différents contextes, tous relatifs aux courants électriques alternatifs. En électricité, le mot phase désigne les « canaux » d'une même source de puissance alternative, entre lesquelles il existe un déphasage (deux à 180° en monophasé et trois à 120° en triphasé). Par assimilation, les électriciens basse tension utilisent également le mot "phase" pour désigner le(s) conducteur(s) actif(s) d'une alimentation alternative.
An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. An induction motor can therefore be made without electrical connections to the rotor. An induction motor's rotor can be either wound type or squirrel-cage type. Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used as industrial drives because they are self-starting, reliable, and economical.
