Do eddy currents in a rotor core of an induction motor create torque proportional to the coil current of a squirrel cage?
In a rotor of an induction motor, the core plates and wire coil conductors have non-zero thicknesses. Therefore, eddy currents non-zero too. And they approximately proportional to the coil current of ...
