It is not inherently self starting because the flux produced by a single-phase winding merely altemates in polarity. To obtain the required rotating field, the stator must be wound for two or more phases. Most motors of this type are wound as two-phase machines with the main and starting circuits initially in parallel across the single-phase supply but designed so that the currents in the two windings differ in phase. The necessary phase shift can be made by connecting a capacitor in series with the starting winding or alternatively winding it with fewer tums of smaller diameter wire than is used in the main winding so that its resistive component is increased. As the motor approaches its operating speed, this winding can be switched off, although in some motors it is left connected to the supply with a reduced value of series capacitance. In either case, a centrifugal switch is used which operates at approximately 80% of the normal running speed. — AC POWER SUPPLY ‘AC POWER SUPPLY Capacitor Stan Resistor Start Figure A27-1: ac Single-Phase Induction Motor Circuit Diagram 62-005 3-4-27/08-3
