Optimization and design of the shaded pole single phase asynchronous Motor

The shaded pole single phase asynchronous motor represents one of the most common and popular electric machines used for general purpose. It is a peculiar application in electric machinery because even if it is characterized by large scale production volumes and easiness in construction, the shaded pole asynchronous motor is also known as a complex technological appliance from the point of view of the electric machines theory because of its difficulty to be studied and modelled. The aim of this paper is to show an innovative way to analyse the electromagnetic behaviour of the shaded pole single phase motor using the classic electric machines theory in order to lead technical and empiric solutions getting the best optimization results.
