How a single phase motor is similar to 3 phase motor?
A single phase induction motor is very similar to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. It has
(i) a squirrel-cage rotor identical to a 3-phase motor

(ii) a single-phase winding on the stator
What is major difference between a 3-phase induction motor and a single-phase induction motor?
Unlike a 3-phase induction motor, a single-phase induction motor is not self- starting but requires some
starting means.
Why single phase induction motor does not self starts?
The single-phase stator winding produces a magnetic field that pulsates in strength in a sinusoidal manner.
The field polarity reverses after each half cycle but the field does not rotate. Consequently, the alternating
flux cannot produce rotation in a stationary squirrel-cage rotor.
What is basic method to start single phase induction motor and why it is not preferred?
If the rotor of a single-phase motor is rotated in one direction by some mechanical means, it will continue
to run in the direction of rotation. As a matter of fact, the rotor quickly accelerates until it reaches a speed
slightly below the synchronous speed. Once the motor is running at this speed, it will continue to rotate
even though single-phase current is flowing through the stator winding. This method of starting is generally
not convenient for large motors. Nor can it be employed fur a motor located at some inaccessible spot.
Explain why single phase induction motor does not start in the light of Double-Field Revolving Theory?
The double-field revolving theory is proposed to explain this dilemma of no torque at start and yet torque
once rotated. This theory is based on the fact that an alternating sinusoidal flux can be represented by two
revolving fluxes, each equal to one-half of the maximum value of alternating flux (i.e., m/2) and each
rotating at synchronous speed in opposite directions.
Therefore, an alternating field can be replaced by two relating fields of half its amplitude rotating in
opposite directions at synchronous speed. Note that the resultant vector of two revolving flux vectors is a
stationary vector that oscillates in length with time along X-axis.
What is the position of rotor at standstill?
Consider the case that the rotor is stationary and the stator winding is connected to a single-phase supply.
The alternating flux produced by the stator winding can be presented as the sum of two rotating fluxes 1
and 2, each equal to one half of the maximum value of alternating flux and each rotating at synchronous
speed (Ns = 120 f/P) in opposite directions.
At standstill, these two torques are equal and opposite and the net torque developed is zero. Therefore,
single-phase induction motor is not self-starting.
What is the value of slip at standstill?
Note that each rotating field tends to drive the rotor in the direction in which the field rotates. Thus the
point of zero slip for one field corresponds to 200% slip for the other . The value of 100% slip (standstill
condition) is the same for both the fields.
Explain motor action from standstill to running condition?
At standstill, s = 1 so that impedances of the two circuits are equal. Therefore, rotor currents are equal i.e.,
I2f = I2b. However, when the rotor rotates, the impedances of the two rotor circuits are unequal and the
rotor current I2b is higher (and also at a lower power factor) than the rotor current I2f. Their m.m.f.s,
which oppose the stator m.m.f.s, will result in a reduction of the backward rotating flux.
Consequently, as speed increases, the forward flux increases, increasing the driving torque while the
backward flux decreases, reducing the opposing torque. The motor-quickly accelerates to the final speed.
How to make Single-Phase Induction Motor Self-Starting?
The single-phase induction motor is not self- starting and it is undesirable to resort to mechanical spinning
of the shaft or pulling a belt to start it. To make a single-phase induction motor self-starting, we should
somehow produce a revolving stator magnetic field.
This may be achieved by converting a single-phase supply into two-phase supply through the use of an
additional winding. When the motor attains sufficient speed, the starting means (i.e., additional winding)
may be removed depending upon the type of the motor.
Name the types of single phase motors with respect to the method employed to make them self-starting?
(i) Split-phase motors-started by two phase motor action through the use of an auxiliary or starting
winding.
(ii) Capacitor motors-started by two-phase motor action through the use of an auxiliary winding and a
capacitor.
(iii) Shaded-pole motors-started by the motion of the magnetic field produced by means of a shading coil
around a portion of the pole structure.
