Introduction
Single-phase induction motors are the most familiar of all
electric motors because they are used in home appliances,
businesses, and small industries. Single-phase induction
motors have usually two poles or four poles and rated at 2
hp or less.
In a single-phase motor we have only a single field winding
excited with alternating current; therefore, it does not have
a revolving field like three-phase motors. Thus, it does not
self-starting. Several methods have been devised to initiate
rotation of the squirrel-cage rotor and the particular
method employed to start the motor will designate the
specific type.

Principle of operation
3. 2.1 Synchronous Speed
As in the case of three-phase motors, the
synchronous speed of all single-phase induction
motors is given by the equation
120f
ns =
p
Where ns= synchronous speed [rpm]
f = frequency of the source [Hz]
p = number of poles
The rotor turns at slightly less than synchronous speed,
and the full-load slip is typically 3 percent to 5 percent3 for
Torque-Speed
Characteristic
Figure shows a schematic
diagram of the rotor and main
winding of a two-pole singlephase
induction
motor.
Suppose the rotor is locked, if
an ac voltage is applied to the
stator, the resulting current Is
produces an ac flux s. The
flux alternates back and forth
but, unlike the flux in threephase stator, no revolving field
is produced. The flux induces
an ac voltage in the stationary
rotor which, in turn, creates
large ac rotor currents.

Capacitor-start motors
If a capacitor is connected in series with the starting
winding, the phase angle between the two winding currents
will become more than 30o (about 80o) that is obtained in
the split-phase motors. This increase in phase angle will
increase the starting torque. Figure shows the capacitorstart motor and the typical torque-speed characteristic.

is called permanent-split
capacitor or capacitor-startand-run- motor. Figure shows
such a motor and its characteristic.
At normal load these motors are
more efficient and have a higher
power factor and a smooth torque
than ordinary single-phase induction motor. However,
permanent split-capacitor motors have a lower starting
torque than capacitor-motors, since the capacitor must
be sized to balance the currents in the main and auxiliary
windings at normal-load condition.
14
Capacitor-start
capacitor-run motors
If both the largest possible starting
torque and the best running
conditions are need, two
capacitors can be used with the
auxiliary winding. Motors with two
capacitors are called Capacitorstart capacitor-run or two-value
capacitor motors. The small value
of capacitance required for optimum running is
permanently connected in series with the auxiliary
winding, and the much larger value required for starting is
obtained by connecting another capacitor parallel to the
running capacitor.

Shaded-pole motors
The least expensive of the fractional-horsepower
motors, generally rated up to 1 hp, are shaded-pole
motors. They have salient stator poles, with one-coil-perpole called main winding. The auxiliary winding consists
of one (or rarely two) short-circuited copper straps
wound on a portion of the pole and displaced from the
center of each pole, as shown.

Equivalent circuit
According to the double revolving field theory the stator
mmf can be resolved into two revolving mmfs, rotating in
opposite directions. If the rotor is rotating at speed n R,
the component mmf rotating in the same direction as the
rotor is called the forward-revolving field, and the
oppositely rotating mmf is called the backward-rotating
field. Each rotating mmf induces a voltage in the rotor
winding. Therefore, two equivalent circuits are built: one
for the forward component mmf and one for the
backward-rotating component field. Then, the two
component fields are combined and the two equivalent
circuits are interconnected.
