Q&A about ac motors and induction motors
What is single phase AC motor?
Single phase induction engine is an AC motor were electricity is converted to mechanical energy to execute some physical task. This induction motor requires only 1 power phase for their proper operation. They are commonly used in low power applications, in domestic and industrial use.
How will an AC motor work single phase?
The stator of an individual phase induction engine is wound with single phase winding. When the stator is usually fed with a single phase supply, it generates alternating flux (which alternates along one space axis only). Alternating flux acting on a squirrel cage rotor can not produce rotation, just revolving flux can.
Can a single phase motor run without a capacitor?
Single-phase induction motors are not self-starting lacking any auxiliary stator winding driven by an out of stage current of near 90°. Once started the auxiliary winding is usually single phase ac motor china optional. The auxiliary winding of a long lasting split capacitor motor has a capacitor in series with it during beginning and running.
How do you reverse an individual phase motor?
Once started, a single phase induction motor will happily run in either direction. To invert it, we need to change the path of the 
rotating magnetic field produced by the primary and starter windings. Which is achieved by reversing the polarity of the starter winding.
