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.
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.
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.
Typically single phase motors go up to 10hp. Wouldn't be very efficient at about 100 amps. A 20hp 3 phase motor at 230v pulls 52 amps. The 10hp single phase 230v pulls 50 amps.
capacitive start motors start by themselves however a normal single phase induction motor requires a starter motor to 'kick-start' the motor into action.
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.

Split Phase Induction Motor.
The revolving field theory of single-phase induction motors suggests that a rotating magnetic field created by current flowing through two windings (main and auxiliary or starting winding) produces a starting torque in the rotor. This theory explains how single-phase motors can operate without the need for a separate rotating magnetic field, as in three-phase motors, by using a split-phase or capacitor start design to generate a rotating magnetic field.
Starting capacitors are only required for single-phase induction motors. They are not necessary for three-phase motors.

Some examples of single-phase motors include split-phase, capacitor-start, shaded pole, and permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. Each type has its own unique design and application, offering different characteristics and performance capabilities.
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
In the U.S. single phase at 200 amps is average.
No, a single phase motor cannot be directly connected to a three phase soft start. A single phase motor requires a single phase power supply, while a three phase soft start is designed for three phase motors. Using the correct soft start for the motor type is essential for proper operation and protection of the equipment.
