Q&A about ac motors and induction motors
What’s single phase AC electric motor?
Single phase induction engine is an AC engine were electricity is converted to mechanical energy to execute some physical task. This induction motor requires only 1 power phase for their proper operation. They are commonly found in low power applications, in household and industrial use.

How will an AC motor work single phase?
The stator of a single phase induction motor is wound with single phase winding. When the stator is fed with a single phase supply, it creates alternating flux (which alternates along one space axis just). Alternating flux functioning on a squirrel cage rotor can not produce rotation, just revolving flux can.

Can an individual phase motor run without a capacitor?
Single-phase induction motors are not self-starting without an auxiliary stator winding driven by an away of phase current of near 90°. Once started the auxiliary winding can be optional. The auxiliary winding of a permanent split single phase ac motor china capacitor motor has a capacitor in series with it during starting and running.

How do you reverse a single phase motor?
Once started, a single phase induction motor will happily run in possibly direction. To reverse it, we need to change the path of the rotating magnetic field made by the main and starter windings. Which is achieved by reversing the polarity of the starter winding.
