Asynchronous motors are mainly used as electric motors, and their power ranges from several watts to tens of thousands of kilowatts. They are the most widely used motors in daily life, providing power for thousands of mechanical equipment and household appliances.
In terms of industry, such as machine tools, steel rolling equipment, fans, water pumps and mining machinery, most of them are driven by three-phase asynchronous motors;
In terms of family life, single-phase asynchronous motors are widely used in household appliances such as electric fans, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners.
Asynchronous motors are the most widely used in electric vehicles. Compared with DC motors, their rotational speeds can be adapted to a wider range, which can meet the needs of high-speed cruising of vehicles.
It is also easier to recover kinetic energy with asynchronous motors. When the vehicle is coasting or braking, the wheels reversely drag the motor to rotate. Under this working condition, the motor can generate electricity and recycle the electric energy into the battery to extend the cruising range of the vehicle, which is what we often call kinetic energy recovery.
