The three-phase induction electric motor works on a rotating magnetic field and is the most widely used motor type in industry. Izmir's strong manufacturing, food, textile and metalworking sectors create constant, high demand for these motors.

How an Induction Motor Works

Current applied with a 120-degree phase difference to the three stator windings creates a rotating magnetic field. Because the rotor turns slightly behind the field's speed, the motor is called "asynchronous"; this slip induces current in the rotor and produces torque. Its robust construction and low maintenance make the induction motor industry's core drive element.

The Speed and Pole Relationship

On a 50 Hz supply, synchronous speed is set by pole count: 2 poles give 3000 rpm, 4 poles 1500 rpm and 6 poles 1000 rpm. The actual rotor speed is lower by the slip. The speed an application needs is reached through the correct pole choice; pumps and fans commonly use 2-4 poles, low-speed drives 6 poles.

Use in Izmir Industry

Izmir is a dense manufacturing centre with its organised industrial zones, port and export infrastructure. Three-phase induction motors are the standard solution for driving conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors and machine tools. This density makes local supply and fast technical support important.

DRG Motor in Izmir

As an Izmir-based supplier, DRG Motor offers IE3 and IE4 three-phase induction motors from 0.55 to 355 kW at 400 V / 50 Hz. With cast iron frame, IP55 protection, Class F insulation and B3 / B5 / B14 mounting options, they adapt to different applications; once power and speed are shared, the right model is identified quickly.
