Example of single phase induction motor

Question

Accepted Answer

A single phase induction motor is an AC motor that operates on a single phase power supply.

Single phase induction motors are commonly used in household appliances like fans, refrigerators, and air conditioners.
They have a simple construction with a stator and a rotor.
The stator has a main winding and an auxiliary winding, which creates a rotating magnetic field.
The rotor is made of laminated iron cores and is not directly connected to the power supply.
The rotating magnetic field induces currents in the rotor, creating a torque that makes the rotor rotate.
Single phase induction motors are less efficient and have lower starting torque compared to three phase induction motors.
