    Difference Between Slip Ring and Squirrel Cage Induction Motor

    Uploaded by

    Roger John
    The document compares slip ring and squirrel cage induction motors. Slip ring motors have a more complex construction with slip rings and brushes that allow adding external resistance to control speed. However, they require more maintenance. Squirrel cage motors have a simpler, more robust construction with permanently shorted rotor bars, making them cheaper but with lower starting torque and no ability to control speed via resistance. Squirrel cage motors are more widely used due to their lower cost and maintenance requirements.

    Difference between Slip Ring and Squirrel Cage Induction Motor

    Slip ring or phase wound Induction motor Squirrel cage induction motor

    Construction is complicated due to presence of


    Construction is very simple
    slip ring and brushes

    The rotor consists of rotor bars which are


    The rotor winding is similar to the stator winding
    permanently shorted with the help of end rings

    We can easily add rotor resistance by using slip Since the rotor bars are permanently shorted, its
    ring and brushes not possible to add external resistance

    Due to presence of external resistance high


    Staring torque is low and cannot be improved
    starting torque can be obtained

    Slip ring and brushes are present Slip ring and brushes are absent

    Frequent maintenance is required due to presence


    Less maintenance is required
    of brushes

    The construction is complicated and the presence


    The construction is simple and robust and it is
    of brushes and slip ring makes the motor more
    cheap as compared to slip ring induction motor
    costly

    This motor is rarely used only 10% industry uses Due to its simple construction and low cost. The
    slip ring induction motor squirrel cage induction motor is widely used

    Rotor copper losses are high and hence less Less rotor copper losses and hence high
    efficiency efficiency

    Speed control by rotor resistance method is Speed control by rotor resistance method is not
    possible possible

    Slip ring induction motor are used where high Squirrel cage induction motor is used in lathes,
    starting torque is required i.e in hoists, cranes, drilling machine, fan, blower printing machines
    elevator etc etc
