Best Answer

The field windings of a three-phase motor are termed 'phase windings'. An 'open phase' means that one of these windings has become open-circuited -i.e. there is a break in the winding. Unfortunately, however, 'line conductors' are often incorrectly referred to as 'phase conductors', so a break in a line conductor could (incorrectly) be called an 'open phase'!

Why 2 phase induction motors are not used in industries?

A two-phase* system is archaic, and has been completely superceded by three-phase systems, so there is no demand for two-phase induction motors. (*A two-phase generator has two phase windings, displaced from each other by 90 degrees.)


What are the advantages of open end winding induction motor over conventional induction motor?

Open ended induction motor - i assume you are talking about split phase induction motor. With these motors old style speed controlling method using external resistors can be used. However this is now obsolete.


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.

Disadvantages of 3 phase induction motor?

One of the disadvantages of the 3 phase induction motor is that it requires a three wire supply. The other disadvantage is that the 3 phase induction motors have poor starting torque and high have in the rush currents.

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.

Why you use brushes for single phase induction motors?

There no brushes in an induction motor. The rotor is independent and is a short-circuited cage of parallel bars.
