Why capacitor is required for Single phase Motor?
A single phase induction motor needs a capacitor in its circuit at the starting time to produce the starting torque. Without a capacitor, a single-phase
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 !!!
