When getting the equivalent circuit refered to the stator of an induction motor you need the turns ratio of stator/rotor windings - like a transformer. What happens if you have a squirrel cage motor? What happens to the turns ratio then?

It's N:1 of course, and you can find the resistance of a shorted turn of solid aluminum, which is usually what they stuff into the rotor.
