Introduction

For general lighting purpose in shops, offices, houses, schools etc. single phase a.c. supply is commonly used. Hence instead of d.c. motors, the motors which work on single phase a.c. supply are very popularly in use. These a.c. motors are called single phase induction motors. The numerous domestic applications use single phase induction motors. The power rating of such motors is very small. Some of them are even fractional horse power motors, which are used in applications like small toys, small fans, hair dryers etc. This chapter explains the construction, working principle and applications of various types of single phase induction motors.
