80.Types of single phase motors

October 01, 2018 Posted by AK No comments
Based on the starting method, single phase induction motors are basically classified into the following types.
  1. Split-phase motor
  2. Capacitor start motor
  3. Permanent capacitor run motor
  4. Capacitor start capacitor run motor
  5. Shaded pole motor
1.Split-Phase AC Induction Motor

The split-phase motor is also known as an induction start/induction run motor. It has two windings: a start and a main winding. The start winding is made with smaller gauge wire and fewer turns, relative to the main winding to create more resistance, thus putting the start winding’s field at a different angle than that of the main winding which causes the motor to start rotating. 
The main winding, which is of a heavier wire, keeps the motor running the rest of the time.
