Best Answer

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.

most manufacturers determine rotation from the shaft end , others may be determined differently. but they usually say how they determine it.

Why do you use codenser in fan?

fan is a capacitor start capacitor run single phase induction motor. since single phase induction motors are not self starters, caused by discontinuty in stator mmf. so to iniate rotation single phase supply is splitted 90 degree apart by a capacitor to convert it to a 2 phase motor, which produces a continued synchronously revolving mmf in stator to start the motor. cool !!


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.


Why a pure single phase induction motor does not have starting torque but has running torque?

A single-phase induction motor can be considered as running on two oppositely-rotating magnetic fields. In normal running just below synchronous speed, the slip is perhaps 0.05 on one of these rotating fields and 1.95 on the other. The first field supplies the major part of the torque. When the motor is stationary with power supplied, both fields have a slip of 1 and they produce contrary torques so the motor remains stalled. If the motor is spun in one direction, the slip becomes unbalanced and there is a net torque from the direction with the least slip, so the motor runs up in that direction.


How do you reverse the direction of rotation of a ceiling fan by changing the connections?

You can't. All single phase motors can only rotate in the direction in which they were manufactured. That is either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Only three phase motors can be reversed by changing the connections. Most ceiling fans have two sets of wiring in their motors so that a direction switch determines which way the fan rotates.


Which type of motor is used in heat convector?

The fan in a convector is usually a single-phase induction motor.

How do you forward direction on a single phase induction motor?

A motor does not have a forward or reverse direction like a vehicle. Electrical terminology is clockwise or counter clockwise rotation determined by looking from the opposite drive end of the shaft. That said, a split phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor's directional rotation can be changed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.

Why does the earth rotate in one single direction?

Angular momentum is conserved. The energy of Earth's rotation will keep it rotating in the same direction, unless a truly enormous amount of energy were to be used to alter that rotation.


Why the rotation of connecting rod in engine cylinder is in a single direction?

The rotation of the push rods have to always rotate in a certain direction. It is relative to the crankshaft. Looking at the front of the typical V8 engine, the crankshaft will move on a clockwise direction. I hope I answered your question.

You went 360o in the same direction, so you end up with a circle.

Do all single phase motors have a start and run winding?

No, commutator motors as used in vaccum cleaners for example do not use a starting winding. Single-phase induction motors need a starting winding without which they will start in either direction if given an initial twist.

Can you change the direction on an ac motor?

A series DC motor can be thought of as having two components, the rotor and the stator. The rotor has windings which rotate and the stator's windings stay stationary. In a series DC motor these windings are connected in series. To make the motor turn backwards you must reverse the current through either the rotor or stator windings, but not both.
