2. AC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

   A common single-phase motor is the shaded-pole motor and is used in devices requiring low starting torque, such as electric fans, small pumps, or small household appliances. In this motor, small single-turn copper "shading coils" create the moving magnetic field.

3. Single-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_electric_power

   In electrical engineering, single-phase electric power (abbreviated 1φ) is the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in unison. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors.

4. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

   An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. ... the stator windings of trapezoidal BLDC motors can be single-phase, ...

5. Repulsion motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repulsion_motor

   A repulsion motor is a type of electric motor which runs on alternating current (AC). It was formerly used as a traction motor for electric trains (e.g. SR Class CP and SR Class SL electric multiple units) but has been superseded by other types of motors. [citation needed] Repulsion motors are classified as single phase motors.

6. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   Induction motors are most commonly run on single-phase or three-phase power, but two-phase motors exist; in theory, induction motors can have any number of phases. Many single-phase motors having two windings can be viewed as two-phase motors, since a capacitor is used to generate a second power phase 90° from the single-phase supply and feeds ...

7. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

   The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase electric motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field. [2]
