Single- and three-phase motors work on the sameprinciple. The field windings create a rotating field which cuts the rotor bars of the rotor, inducing voltages into them, and the field produced by the resulting currents react with the rotating field causing the rotor to spin. If you like, the rotating field 'drags' the rotor around with it.

In the case of a three-phase motor, the three out-of-phase phase currents create a naturally-rotating field. However, in the case of a single-phase motor, we must simulate this. This is done by having two, separate, field windings. One is fed directly from the supply, and the other is also fed from the supply via a capacitor. This results in two field currents which are displaced from each other by around 90 electrical degrees, when then create the rotating field necessary for the motor to start and run. You could say that a single-phase motor is equivalent to a 'two-phase' motor. The field winding supplied via a capacitor is known as the 'start winding' or the 'auxiliary winding'.

How is direction of rotation for single phase induction motor determined?

A single phase induction motor is not self starting; thus, it is necessary to provide a starting circuit and associated start windings to give the initial rotation in a single phase induction motor. The normal running windings within such a motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.
