A Single-Phase Induction Motor is an electric motor that operates on a single-phase alternating current (AC) supply. It is commonly used in household appliances and small machinery due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. The motor consists of a stator, which generates a rotating magnetic field, and a rotor that turns in response to this field. These motors typically have a starting mechanism, such as a capacitor or split-phase winding, to help initiate rotation. Once started, the motor runs efficiently, making it suitable for applications like fans, pumps, and compressors. Its design allows for easy maintenance and reliable performance in various settings.
