Single phase induction motor is not self starting because, when the main winding is excited from a single phase supply, it produces an alternating magnetic field instead of rotating magnetic field in two phase and 3 phase induction motor. According to double field revolving theory any alternating vector can be resolved into two vectors rotating in opposite directions, each having magnitude equal to one half the magnitude of the actual vector. The vectors will be rotating in such a way that their resultant will be zero at every instant. Thus a single phase induction motor fails to produce a net starting torque, and is not self starting.

It can be made self starting by any of the methods below

1) By using an aux winding in series with a very high resistance

2) using two capacitors,in series with the aux wdg,one with intermittent duty and the other one with continuous duty

3) Using shaded poles

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.

Will single-phase Induction motor run on one winding once it has been started?

A single-phase induction motor has a main winding and a starting winding. When the motor has run up to normal speed the starting winding can be switched out, but for small motors this is not usually worth the trouble.

Is 3 phase induction motor is self starting?

Yes, that is one of the major advantages of a three-phase induction motor.


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.

How do you start single phase induction motor?

capacitive start motors start by themselves however a normal single phase induction motor requires a starter motor to 'kick-start' the motor into action.


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.
