How an Induction Motor Works

Introduction: An induction motor is a common type of electric motor found in many automotive applications, from power steering to brake assist systems. It uses electromagnetic induction from its stator winding to produce torque within its rotor, which it then uses to drive the car. In hybrid vehicles, the induction motor is also used to power electric generators that recharge the car’s battery while driving. But what exactly is an induction motor and how does it work? Let’s take a look.
