This bachelor‘s thesis deals with a single-phase induction motor and is organized in five sections. In the introduction is briefly described its construction and compared with three-phase induction motor. The first chapter describes the emergence of a rotating magnetic field of motor, methods of obtaining the starting torque, the influence on properties of different types of motors, comparing the torque characteristics of the different types of motors. In the second chapter is discussed permanent-split capacitor induction motor, its calculation and operational optimization. The third chapter deals with the determination of general principles of calculation and calculation method of single-phase induction motor with auxiliary winding. The fo...
