All induction motors require a rotating magnetic field in order to drive their rotors. Unlike a three-phase motor, a single-phase induction motor does not have a naturally-rotating magnetic field set up in the air gap between the stator and rotor and, so, this rotating magnetic field must be artificially created by stator windings that are roughly 90 degrees out of phase with each other. In most cases, this is done by inserting a capacitor in what is termed its 'auxiliary winding'.

A DC motor runs on DC (Direct Current) which means there is a constant voltage source. A single phase induction motor is a type of motor which requires an AC (Alternating Current) source, which means the voltage source alternates between a positive and negative value. It is almost always a sinusoidal shaped wave.

The main difference is that polyphase induction motors are naturally self-starting, whereas single-phase motors require some means of starting.

Usually a "universal motor" means it runs on either AC or DC. It usually has brushes to accomplish this. A single phase motor is designed to run on AC only.

How single-phase induction motor classified?

The single phase induction motors are made self starting by providing an additional flux by some additional means. Now depending upon these additional means the single phase induction motors are classified as: 1.Split phase induction motor. 2.Capacitor start inductor motor. 3.Capacitor start capacitor run induction motor. 4. Shaded pole induction motor.
