c By injecting EMF in rotor circuit: In this method, speed of induction motor is controlled by injecting a voltage
in rotor circuit. It is necessary that voltage (emf) being injected must have same frequency as of slip frequency.
However, there is no restriction to the phase of injected emf. If we inject emf which is in opposite phase with
the rotor induced emf, rotor resistance will be increased. If we inject emf which is in phase with rotor induced
emf, rotor resistance will decrease. Thus, by changing the phase of injected emf, speed can be controlled. The
main advantage of this method is a wide range of speed control (above normal as well as below normal) can
be achieved. The emf can be injected by various methods such as Kramer system, Scherbius system etc.
Single phase motors & special type of motors
LObjectives: At the end of this lesson you shall be able to:
• explain briefly the types of AC single phase motors
• explain the necessity and methods of split phasing the single phase to obtain a rotating

• shaded phase motor, capacitor start - permanent capacitor motor.
Single phase motors
Introduction: Single phase motors are working in single phase only. When stator is supplied by single phase
AC supply, the field produced by it changes in magnitude and direction sinusoidally. Such an alternating field
is equivalent to two fields of equal magnitude rotating in opposite direction at equal speed. These are in the
fractional horse power sizes widely used in air crafts, power tools etc.
When fed from a single phase supply its stator winding produces a flux which is only alternating. This alternating
flux acting on a stationary squirrel cage rotor cannot produce rotation. That is why a single phase motor is not
self-starting.
