Description
What is a single–phase motor? A single–phase motor is an electrically-powered rotary machine that can turn electric energy into mechanical energy. It works by using a single–phase power supply. They contain two types of wiring: hot and neutral. Their power can reach 3Kw and supply voltages vary in unison.
A single phase induction motor consists of a single phase winding on the stator and a cage winding on the rotor. When a 1 phase supply is connected to the stator winding, a pulsating magnetic field is produced. In the pulsating field, the rotor does not rotate due to inertia.
