7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
 The single-phase induction machine is the most
frequently used motor for refrigerators, washing
machines, clocks, drills, compressors, pumps, and so
forth.
 The single-phase motor stator has a laminated iron
core with two windings arranged perpendicularly.
 One is the main and
 The other is the auxiliary winding or starting
winding

7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• This “single-phase”
motors are truly two-
phase machines.
• The motor uses a
squirrel cage rotor,
which has a laminated
iron core with slots.
• Aluminum bars are
molded on the slots and
short-circuited at both
ends with a ring.

7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• The single-phase induction motor operation
can be described by two methods:
– Double revolving field theory; and
– Cross-field theory.
• Double revolving theory is perhaps the easier
of the two explanations to understand
• Learn the double revolving theory only

7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
7.6.1 Double revolving field theory
• A single-phase ac current supplies the main
winding that produces a pulsating magnetic
field.
• Mathematically, the pulsating field could be
divided into two fields, which are rotating in
opposite directions.
• The interaction between the fields and the
current induced in the rotor bars generates
opposing torque
9/7/2022 360 Chapter 7 Induction Motor 11
7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• The interaction between
the fields and the current
induced in the rotor bars
generates opposing
torque.
• Under these conditions,
with only the main field
energized the motor will
not start
• However, if an external
torque moves the motor in
any direction, the motor
will begin to rotate.

7.6.1 Double revolving field theory
• The pulsating filed is divided a forward and reverse
rotating field
• Motor is started in the direction of forward rotating
field this generates small (5%) positive slip
• Reverse rotating field generates a larger (1.95%)
negative slip

7.6.1 Double revolving field theory
• The three-phase induction motor starting torque inversely
depends on the slip
• This implies that a small positive slip (0.01–0.03) generates
larger torque than a larger negative slip (1.95–1.99)
• This torque difference drives the motor continues to rotate in a
forward direction without any external torque.

7.6.1 Double revolving field theory
• Each of the rotating fields induces a voltage in the
rotor, which drives current and produces torque.
• An equivalent circuit, similar to the equivalent
circuit of a three phase motor, can represent each
field
• The parameters of the two circuits are the same
with the exception of the slip.

7.6.1 Double revolving field theory
• The two equivalent circuits are connected in series.
• Figure 7.44 shows the equivalent circuit of a single-
phase motor in running condition.
• The current, power and torque can be calculated
from the combined equivalent circuit using the Ohm
Law
• The calculations are demonstrated on a numerical
example

7.6.2.2 Starting torque
9/7/2022 360 Chapter 7 Induction Motor 20
7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• The single-phase motor starting torque is zero
because of the pulsating single-phase magnetic flux.
• The starting of the motor requires the generation of a
rotating magnetic flux similar to the rotating flux in a
three-phase motor.
• Two perpendicular coils that have currents 90° out-
of-phase can generate the necessary rotating
magnetic fields which start the motor.
• Therefore, single-phase motors are built with two
perpendicular windings.
9/7/2022 360 Chapter 7 Induction Motor 21
7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• The phase shift is achieved by
connecting
– a resistance,
– an inductance, or
– a capacitance
in series with the starting winding.
• Most frequently used is a capacitor to
generate the starting torque.
9/7/2022 360 Chapter 7 Induction Motor 22
7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• Figure 7.50 shows the
connection diagram of a
motor using a capacitor to
generate the starting
torque.
• When the motor reaches
the operating speed, a
centrifugal switch turns
off the starting winding.

7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• The centrifugal switch is
necessary because most
motors use a cheap
electrolytic capacitor that
can only carry ac current
for a short period.
• A properly selected
capacitor produces
around 90° phase shift
and large starting torque.

7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• A less effective but more economical method using
shaded pole motors
• The motor has two salient poles excited by ac
current.
• Each pole includes a small portion that has a short-
circuited winding. This part of the pole is called the
shaded pole.
• The main winding produces a pulsating flux that
links with the squirrel cage rotor.
• This flux induces a voltage in the shorted winding.
9/7/2022 360 Chapter 7 Induction Motor 26
7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• The induced voltage produces a current in the
shorted winding.
• This current generates a flux that opposes the main
flux in the shaded pole (the part of the pole that
carries the shorted winding).
• The result is that the flux in the unshaded and shaded
parts of the pole will be unequal.
• Both the amplitude and the phase angle will be
different.
9/7/2022 360 Chapter 7 Induction Motor 27
7.6 Single Phase Induction Motor
• These two fluxes generate an unbalanced rotating
field. The field amplitude changes as it rotates.
• Nevertheless this rotating field produces a torque,
which starts the motor in the direction of the shaded
pole.
• The starting torque is small but sufficient for fans
and other household equipment requiring small
starting torque.
• The motor efficiency is poor but it is cheap
