Introduction

Searching for the best is a non-stoppable process, where the best is defined according to the desired application, but there are some common concerns to be considered as the best, such as, the good performance with suitable cost for example. Three phases induction motor is widely applied in different machines on the industrial field for it is low cost, simple design and more to be discovered in this research. To produce this motor two different selections were taken, firstly, that it is three phases, according to Brain in 2000, the sinusoidal wave curves of the three phases happens to have a curve of the three that is reaching its peak current in any moment counter to a two phase power for example (Brain, 2000). Secondly, that is by induction, induction motors requires no separate sources to start the motor and can maintain different levels of speeds. In the huge motors world, each type of motors has its own way of construction, starting method, different sizes and power output and how the speed can be controlled in addition to the applications that are applicable for each type of these motors.
