Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
revolving field
the magnetic field created by flow of a set of balanced three-phase currents through three symmetrically displaced windings. The created field revolves in the air-gap of the machine at an angular velocity corresponding to the synchronous speed of the machine. The revolving field theory is the basis of functioning of synchronous and induction machines.
