the working principle of single phase induction motor is similar to the three phase induction motor, when we supply is given to the single phase induction motor a revolving field set up in the stator which produces a torqe air gap between north pole and south pole and rotor picks up speed
Working Principle of 3 Phase Induction Motor By Michael Logan, eHow Contributor
Three-phase induction motors are simple and efficient motors that use the principles of magnetic attraction, alternating current and induction to cause a motor shaft to turn and exert force on a load.
Other People Are ReadingThe motor shaft is wrapped with coils of wire called windings. Current passing through the windings creates magnetic fields with positive and negative poles. Stationary windings inside the motor case create opposing magnetic fields. The attraction between the different field poles causes the shaft to turn.
An electric current is "induced" within a coil when it passes through a magnetic field. Induction motors take advantage of this by inducing current in the shaft windings instead of using brushes to transfer current.

Alternating current changes direction 120 times per second. The voltage rises from 0 to a positive peak, declines towards 0 volts, reverses direction to decline to a negative peak and starts rising towards 0 again.
Three-phase alternating current is supplied on three wires. The current in each wire is 120 degrees out of phase with the previous wire. When the voltage is at 0 on one wire, it is either positive or negative on the other two wires. Therefore, the motor is always receiving power and always exerting torque on the load
Single phase motors have two windngs. Starting winding and running winding. Starting winding provides a kickstart, torque in a direction and then running winding keeps it rotating.
Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.
Two phase is single phase for today's purposes. We generally do not call 240v single phase "two phase" anymore, although technically that's what it is. 240v two phase has power to both lines to the motor versus 120v single phase has one power line and a neutral. Fortunately most single phase motors today are dual voltage. So check your nameplate data of the motor for guidance. The use of proper motor protection will prevent any damage to motors if wrong voltages are inadvertantly applied.CommentA two-phase system is an archic system, in which two phase voltages are displaced from each other by 90 electrical degrees. Like three-phase, it had the advantage of producing a naturally-rotating magnetic field, so could drive induction motors without any need for a starting capacitor.
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.
generally induction motor of single phase is used in air cooler.
A 3 phase system needs only to use 3 or 4 conductors, as against 6 conductors if it were 3, single phase conductors The amount of copper used in a 3 phase is much less than what would be needed in a single phase system carrying the same current, this reduction in copper allows for weight reduction and cost savings. The power losses in a 3 phase system are much less than in a single phase system.
Three phase electricity is used instead of single phase for industrial situations. Industries use three phase electricity instead of single phase to operate electric motors driving heavy machinery. Three phase electrical motors produce more power from the same amount of electricity and maintain steadier speed. Small portable motors such as drills and mixers use single phase. Motors used around the house are single phase. Motors used to run large industrial machines use three phase.
Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.

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.
Split Phase Induction Motor.
Starting capacitors are only required for single-phase induction motors. They are not necessary for three-phase motors.
Split-phase motors are used in many applications that require a medium amount of performance from a single phase source. Many of the motors used in homes that are supplied by single phase power are split-phase motors. Some applications include running fans, blowers, water pumps, air compressors, conveyor belts, and more. The only limits on the applications that can use split-phase motors are the availability of single phase power and the charectoristics of the motor itself.
Single phase induction motors are used in ceiling fans
three phase would be cheaper for running motors are more efficient single phase is only used for small motors and loads where operating economy is not a concern
Single Phase motorRPM (Revolution Per Minute) depends on Frequency used & the number of poles of motor.So this RPM of single phase motor usually 300 to 3000 depending upon F & P.
They use a Single-Phase AC motor
A three phase motor will not operate on single phase. The motor will run on two phases but will not start. Motors running on just two phases is called single phasing. The line current of the two legs will go high and it is this factor that the motor controller uses to trip the contactor to open the circuit and isolate the motor from the power source.
