CONSTRUCTION:

 The construction of a single phase induction motor is similar to 3φ squirrel cage induction motor.
 Stator has a single phase distributed winding.
 Rotor  Squirrel cage rotor.
 It has no self starting torque.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
 The starting torque can be produced by using auxiliary winding.
 The angle between main winding and auxiliary winding should be 90 electrical degrees.
