a type of brushless electric motor in which an alternating supply fed to the windings of the stator creates a magnetic field that induces a current in the windings of the rotor. Rotation of the rotor results from the interaction of the magnetic field created by the rotor current with the field of the stator

Word forms: (regular plural) induction motors
noun
(Electrical engineering: Electrical power, Motor or generator)
An induction motor is a type of brushless electric motor in which an alternating supply fed to the windingsof the stator creates a magnetic field that induces a current in the windings of therotor.
An induction motor is an asynchronous AC motor where power is transferred to the rotor by electromagneticinduction, much like transformer action.
Since the induction motor has no DC field winding, there is no sustained field current in the rotor to provideflux as is the case with a synchronous machine.
