This type of motor is designed to operate with the start winding and it’s series capacitor permanently connected to the supply. lt has two capacitors connected in parallel in the start winding circuit for starting purposes. The running capacitor is employed to correct the power factor. As a result, this motor has a higher starting torque as well as a higher efficiency. These motors are employed in sizes ranging from 375 W to 7.5 kW. The power factor of these motor is upto 80% to 100%.
A single-phase induction motor with only one winding on the stator cannot produce any starting torque. Hence, some extra arrangement is required to start the motor. In the running condition, the motor is capable of developing the torque with only one winding on the stator. The simplest method of starting is to provide an auxiliary winding on the stator in addition to the main winding. The two windings are placed in the stator with their axes displaced by 90 electrical degrees in space.
While estimating the overhead lines, the first and last pole is always earth connected and after every 3rd electrical pole, the fourth pole is earthed. Therefore, the approximate number of required ground set = 4
