Question

Do AC motors have slip rings?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Functionally, slip rings provide a continuous transfer of power, signals, or data. Specifically, AC motors, transfer resistance to the rotor windings and the motor uses three slip rings made of copper.
  2. Each of the slip rings is connected to one of the three phases of rotor windings.

Therefore the slip rings rotate with the rotor, the brushes continue to maintain constant contact with the rings and transfer the resistance to the rotor windings.

Hence, the AC motors have slip rings.
