A single phase electric motor is a type of electric motor that operates on a single phase AC power supply. It is commonly used in small appliances, such as fans, pumps, and compressors, as well as in some industrial and commercial equipment. The construction of a single phase electric motor typically consists of a stator and a rotor. When the magnetic field from the stator interacts with the conductive bars in the rotor, it causes the rotor to rotate. Single phase electric motor is simple and less expensive to manufacture, making it a popular choice for small appliances and some types of machinery.
