Well the big identifier of a split phase induction motor is the main and aux. winding. The rotor, stator, case, etc. These two windings is what sets it apart from other motors. These windings are phase shifted to produce a rotating magnetic field for starting to allow the motor to have better starting torque.

What is a split phase motor with relay and capacitor called?

A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".


What type of motor is used in a ceiling fan?

Single-phase motors - These motors are commonly fractional-horsepower types, though integral sizes are generally available to 10 hp. The most common single phase motor types are shaded pole, split phase, capacitorstart, and permanent split capacitor.Figure 5 - Rings in shaded-pole motor distort alternating field sufficiently to cause rotation.Figure 6 - Split-phase windings in a twopole motor. Starting winding and running winding are 90 ° apart.Figure 7 - Split-phase start induction motor.


What size capacitor is needed to start a 1 hp 14 amp 110V motor?

A single phase motor does not actually require a capacitor. This device is only needed when a split phase motor is utilised. A split phase motor needs a device to regulate the power factor associated with the split phase.

How could the direction of rotation of the split phase motor be reversed?

A split phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor can be reversed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.
