What is the relation between between Induction motor and Transformer?

1 Answer

Answer :

Answer: Induction motors are considered as transformers with secondary winding rotating. This is because both transformers and induction motor operates in such a manner that power is transferred to secondary windings (rotor) from primary windings (stator) by mutual induction principle.
