Abstract

A variable speed controlled induction motor has a rotor (8) formed in one piece and a plurality of stators (24,25), the rotor having a plurality of rotor cores (2,3) and a plurality of conductive members (5) interconnected and the stators having respective stator windings (22,23). The stator windings (22,23) are connected in series, the rotor conductive members (5) are short-circuited by connecting members (r) at an air space or a non-magnetic core portion disposed between the rotor cores (2,3), and at least one of the plurality of stators (24,25) is associated with a phase shifter (38;47;50;51) providing the voltage of a given phase to the stator windings, whereby the rotational speed can be controlled easily over a wide range with excellent torque characteristics and efficiency.
