However, the special characteristics behind the way the various AC motors
are made and operated, as well as their technical principles and design
aspects, must be taken into account, and a distinction needs to be made
between the following types:
•
Split pole motor,
•
Split-phase motors
•
Capacitor-start/induction-run motors
•
Capacitor motor (PSC-Motor),
•
Three-phase motors run from a single-phase supply
(Steinmetz connection)
•
Capacitor-start/capacitor-run motors (not allowed for DC1-S…)
2.9.1 Split pole motor
Figure 13: Shaded-pole motor
In shaded-pole motors, the magnetic field produced by the main winding
(stator winding) induces a lagging magnetic field in the short-circuited
shading coil (auxiliary winding), which is displaced in space. This elliptic
rotating field is heavily load-dependent (slip of approximately 7 to 10 %) and
is defined to a significant extent by the shaded poles’ saliency. Accordingly,
the starting torque will only be around 25 to 70 % of the rated torque, while
the efficiency will be approx. 30 %.
As a result of their design, shaded-pole motors cost less and have a much
smaller frame size than capacitor-start/capacitor-run motors with a
comparable output. Shaded-pole motors are used predominantly for short-
time operation at outputs of up to approximately 300 W, and their quietness
and long lifespan, combined with the fact that they are maintenance-free,
make them the motor of choice for small, direct-drive axial and radial fans
and blowers.
