Where are the windings on a wound rotor motor found?
A wound rotor motor has windings on the rotor and stator, as oppose to a squirrel cage motor that has windings on the stator but the rotor is formed by a aluminium cage. The stator has windings in both cases. The term rotor means rotating field because ac terms were developed from dc terms used much earlier in motors.The term stator means static armature. You can see from these terms that the part that turns changed between dc and ac. Commutator is the segments on a dc motor that reverse the polarity of the armature as it turns. Field is the fixed winding on a dc motor.
