How is the construction of the rotor different between the wound rotor induction motor and the squirrel cage motor?

What will be an ideal response?


The difference between the two motors lies in the construction of the rotor. The rotor of a squirrel cage motor is constructed of bars connected together at each end by shorting rings. The rotor of a wound rotor induction motor is constructed by winding three separate windings in the rotor.
