What is wound rotor induction motor

The rotor windings are star-connected like a three-phase star connected transformer. Rotor winding is present inside rotor drum. Rotor drum is placed on the motor shaft. Motor shaft carries three slip rings which are circular in shape

Why is single phase induction motor not self-starting?

When single-phase AC supply is given to stator winding. It produces alternating flux.i.e. which alternates along one space axis only. It is not synchronously revolving (or rotating) flux, as in case of 3 phase stator winding, the

What is split phase induction motor

Split phase inductions motor: resistance star induction run Two winding are connected in parallel to supply to make 1 phase induction motor self-starting. One is main winding and other is staring winding. both these winding are 900
