2. Single-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_electric_power

   Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors. A single-phase supply connected to an alternating current electric motor does not produce a rotating magnetic field; single-phase motors need additional circuits for starting (capacitor start motor), and such motors are uncommon above ...

3. Rotary phase converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_phase_converter

   With increasing power output, three-phase motors have preferable characteristics to single-phase motors; the latter not being available in sizes over 15 hp (11 kW) and, though available, rarely seen larger than 5 hp (3.7 kW). (Three-phase motors have higher efficiency, reduced complexity, with regards to starting, and three-phase power is ...

4. Fractional-horsepower motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-horsepower_motor

   There is no defined minimum output, however, it is generally accepted that a motor with a frame size of less than 35mm square can be referred to as a 'micro-motor'. Fractional-horsepower electric motors are exempt from the US Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the new EN 60034-30:2009 [1] ruling of European directive 2005/32/EC [2] concerning the ...

5. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

   The motor accelerates from slip speed to synchronous speed during an accelerating half cycle of the reluctance torque. [3] Single-phase synchronous motors such as in electric wall clocks can freely rotate in either direction, unlike a shaded-pole type. Costs are an important parameter for starters. [38]

6. 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]

7. 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 ...
