The rotating field of a three-phase induction motor is produced by

  • A.three windings displaced in space and fed with displaced currents
  • B.a single winding fed with alternating current at supply frequency
  • C.a direct current in the stator winding of the machine
  • D.the mechanical rotation of the rotor within the stator

Answer: A

Spatial displacement of the windings combined with temporal displacement of the currents gives a field of constant magnitude revolving at synchronous speed. A single-phase winding gives a pulsating field instead, which is why such machines need starting help.
