GENERAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The shaded-pole motor contains a standard squirrel-cage rotor. The amount of torque produced is determined by the strength of the magnetic field of the stator, the strength of the magnetic field of the rotor, and the phase-angle difference between rotor current and stator current. The shaded-pole motor has a low starting torque and running torque. This motor is generally used in applications that do not require a large amount of starting torque, such as fans and blowers. Figure 12–6 shows a photograph of a shaded-pole induction motor.
