Induction motor
Widely used because of its relative simplicity in construction Does not require external electrical connection to the rotor, thus slips rings and brushes are not required Operates at a lower speed than the synchronous speed
Synchronous Speed
For a P-pole machine, the angular velocity of the field is given by:
P/ 2
cross-section
conductors in rotor

Synchronous Motor
Generation of electrical energy by utility companies is done almost exclusively with synchronous machines. Assuming a constant frequency source, the speed of a synchronous motor does not vary with load. The stator windings of a synchronous machine are basically the same as those of an induction machine
Synchronous Motor
The synchronous motor can act as a source of reactive power Proper use of synchronous motors can lower energy costs of an industrial plant by increasing the power factor
Auxiliary Windings
Two windings that are 90 apart physically and carrying currents 90 apart in phase produce a rotating magnetic field. Single-phase induction motors contain an auxiliary winding displaced by 90 electrical degrees from the main winding.

Stepper Motor
Are used for accurate, repeatable positioning applications such as read/write heads of a computer floppy drive or for moving the head in an ink-jet printer By controlling the rate at which pulses are applied to the windings of the stepper motor, speed can be varied continuously from a standing stop to a maximum that depends on the motor and the load.
