Circuit diagram of resistance split single phase induction motor:
* Working of resistors split single phase induction motor: To make a single phase induction motor self-starting, we should somehow produce a rotating magnetic field. This may be achieved by converting a single phase supply into two-phase supply through the use of an additional winding. In a split phase induction motor, the additional winding is known as auxiliary winding or starting winding. * Because of the high value of resistance in the starting winding, a phase shift of 30 to 400 is introduced in the current carried by starting and running windings. This creates rotating magnetic field and the motor starts running. * A centrifugal switch S is connected in series with the starting winding It function is to automatically disconnected the starting winding from the supply Once motor is started.
