A Squirrel Cage Induction Motor is a widely used type of AC induction motor characterized by its simple, rugged, and efficient design. It is named after the squirrel cage-like structure of its rotor, which is made of laminated iron cores with conductive bars (usually aluminum or copper) embedded in slots and short-circuited at both ends by rings.
Rugged Construction: Its simple and durable design makes it highly reliable and suitable for harsh industrial environments.
