Hey kids! So, guys today we are going to be studying about shaded pole type single phase motor. These motors are amazing, and can be found in all sorts of things from fans to fridges, and even toys. So let’s take a look at how these motors function, the positives and negatives to them, and where they can be found as well as the best way to maintain them.
Shaded Pole Single Phase Motors are a kind of single-phase electric motor available in household appliances and small machines. They're known as “shaded pole” motors because they contain a special part called a shading coil. This coil also assists in the initial run of the motor and its smooth operation.
Shaded pole single phase motors utilize elecromagnet to produce a revolving magnetic field. This gives rise to the torque field, which acts on the rotor of the motor, rotating the rotor and driving the load if a load is connected to the motor. The shading coil this is what starts the motor is easy and it is reliable.
Shaded pole motors ~ A nice thing about shaded pole motors is that they are simple to manufacture and cheap. They are also extremely reliable and can last a really long time. But they are not terribly efficient and can make a lot of noise when they run. They’re great for small items or anything that doesn’t require a powerful blast of air.
VARIANTS Shaded pole single phase motor are applied in numerous locations. You can see them in ceiling fans, exhaust fans, refrigerators and small pumps. They are ideal for appliances that don't require a complex motor to work reliably.
If you want to ensure that your shaded pole motor remains efficient…you’re gonna have to take good care of it. Ensure it is clean and without dust particles. It is then easier to loose or break parts; check such like and repair them. It’s also a good practice to oil the bearings of the motor occasionally to ensure that they are running well.
