Why Single Phase Induction Motor is not Self-Starting?
The main reason why a single-phase induction motor is not self-starting is that it produces a revolving magnetic field and not a rotating magnetic field.
Induction Motor
About 98 % of the motors used in the world is induction motor. The induction motor is simple in construction. It is robust,rugged and reliable motor. All the posts written about induction motor is useful for engineering students and the professional engineers working in the field. I tried to cover every practical aspects in the posts. Happy Readings !!!
