Single-phase motors - These motors are commonly fractional-horsepower types, though integral sizes are generally available to 10 hp. The most common single phase motor types are shaded pole, split phase, capacitorstart, and permanent split capacitor.

Figure 5 - Rings in shaded-pole motor distort alternating field sufficiently to cause rotation.

Figure 6 - Split-phase windings in a twopole motor. Starting winding and running winding are 90 ° apart.

Figure 7 - Split-phase start induction motor.
