INDUCTION MOTOR

1. This is an induction motor, single phase, 127 V. Its nominal speed is 1625RPM. 4 poles. 2. First I run it with its permanent capacitor, closing the circuit on the two different sides of the capacitor, to show that it will be the cause of the rotating direction. 3. After that, I remove the capacitor and run it but only with one winding connected at a time. Single phase motors have a main winding and an auxiliary winding. 4. The black wire of the motor is permanently connected to the phase. 5. The white wire is the main winding. 6. The yellow wire is the auxiliary winding. 7. You will see the starting problem that all single phase motors have in common. There is no torque on them to start rotating!!! 8. In this case I crank it with my hand to start it. 9. It also shows that by cranking it you can give the motor the rotating direction you decide with the crank, and that you can use either the main winding or auxiliary winding to run it but not both at the same time (without the capacitor). 10. Since the auxiliary and main windings have different inductance and resistance values, the rotor runs faster on one than in the other, but you can start it with your hand in any direction regardless of the working winding
