Explanation of Solution

Split phase motor works by splitting a single phase into two phases to mimic a two-phase power system. To achieve this, the split phase motor has two windings. They are the run winding and the start winding, which are connected in parallel.

The three types of split phase motors are given below:

  • Resistance-start induction-run motor.
  • Capacitor-start induction-run motor.
  • Capacitor-start capacitor-run motor.
