Single Phase Motors
Single phase motors are a type of AC motor that uses electromagnetic principles to create useful rotational energy, they operate in a similar way to 3 phase motors but are simplified. These motors need less maintenance than 3 phase motors, and will normally last longer. Single phase motors are used in equipment and machines that are smaller in size and require lower horsepower.
Types of single Phase Motor
- Split phase motor.
- Capacitor start motor.
- Capacitor start capacitor run motor.
- Permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor.
- Shaded pole motor
;Applications:
- Pumps
- Fans
- Refrigerators
- Compressors
- Portable Drills
