This paper presents speed control characteristics of capacitor-run SPIM(Single Phase Induction Motor) using TRIAC for comparing and analyzing four kinds of voltage control methods such as supply voltage control, main winding voltage control, auxiliary winding voltage control and auxiliary winding voltage control without starting capacitor. The computer simulations were performed using MATLAB Simulink to show control characteristics of four voltage control methods. And their control characteristics were conformed by experiments for capacitor-run 90W SPIM as a sample motor. The results of simulations and experiments show that supply voltage control method has fast dynamic response characteristics and main winding voltage control method has higher power efficiency and can be implemented at lower system cost.

This paper presents a speed control method for the capacitor-run induction motor. The equivalent circuit of the motor is analyzed using the forward(Positive sequence) and backward(negative sequence) components, and simple circuit equations are obtained. Simulations for the speed control are performed by adjusting the voltage magnitude of the auxiliary winding. A prototype system has been implemented which consists of an inverter and a controller with TMS320C31 digital signal processor. The experimental results using 1/4hp capacitor-run induction motor show a good agreement with analyses.

Single phase induction motor is directly used usual source, it can be a source of an appliance such as mechanical fan, refrigerator, washing machine, etc. Especially capacitor-run single phase induction motor is suitable to make more inexpensive and high efficient products because it is more high efficiency, and good to start than other single phase induction motors. Generally, voltage and current of capacitor-run single phase induction motor transfer to the part of positive phase and negative phase based on two motor theory. In this paper, we simulate the torque characteristics to capacitance variation from single phase induction motor's equivalent circuit. Through the test using the real motor, we compare and investigate the maximum torque of run state related with capacitance and the adequacy of the converted model.

Designing the capacitor-run motor for balanced operation is accompanied with the excessive capacitor value and low capacitor terminal voltage of condenser. As a solution for this problems, It was reported the design by equal volt-ampere method. The running characteristics of capacitor-run motor by this method due to the balancing point selection, however, has a room to be studied further. This paper deals with the determination of the winding ratio and capacitor value of a permarient-split capacitor motor by balanced operation and equal volt-ampere method at the different load points. The analysis of the running characteristics of a motor and its designing method also presented for both cases. It concluded that the running characteristics due to the equal volt-ampere operation are very close to the balanced operation.

This paper proposes a novel soft starting algorithm by using PWM inverter technique to control an amplitude of the motor starting current at a single-phase induction motor (SPIM). Traditional SPIM starting methods such as a Split-Phase, Capacitor-Start, Permanent-Split Capacitor (PSC), Capacitor-Start Capacitor-Run (CSCR), basically cannot control the magnitude of starting current due to the fixed system structures. Therefore, in this paper, a soft starting algorithm based on a proportional resonant (PR) control with a variable and constant frequency is proposed to reduce the inrush current and starting up time. In addition, a transition algorithm for operation modes is devised to generate a constant voltage and constant frequency (CVCF). The validity and effectiveness of the proposed soft starting method and transition algorithm are verified through experimental results.

Although permanent magnet single phase synchronous motor which starts and runs through single phase voltage source has high efficiency, it is difficult to determine the rotating direction. In this paper, the starting characteristics of the capacitor-run single phase synchronous motor has been studied. The stator has same structure with the capacitor-run single phase induction motor, however the rotor consists of permanent magnet. In this case, the starting conditions according to the rotor and stator conditions are determined and the direction of the motor can be determined. From these results, it is desired that the proposed motor can be applied to the loads like the fans which has low starting torque.

This paper proposes a straightforward method of analyzing the operation characteristics for the capacitor run single-phase induction motor from the traditional equivalent circuit based on the revolving field theory. The proposed method consists of five procedures as follows: mechanical loss segregation, iron loss segregation and calculation of the equivalent circuit parameters, recalculation of parameters of the main winding side, calculation of the auxiliary winding magnetizing reactance and effective turn ratio, and analyzing the operation characteristics for this motor. When the characteristics are analyzed, the segregated mechanical and iron losses are considered as a loss resistance across input terminals of the equivalent circuit for the analysis. The validity of the proposed method is verified from the comparison between the computed results and the experimental ones for the operation characteristics.

Various kinds of practical machines using the single phase induction motor (SPIM) are utilized to control both speed and torque. In particular, the capacitor-run type SPIM has the characteristic that allows the motor torque to be altered by auxiliary capacitance variation. In this study, we manifest an equivalent model having a more simplified configuration, and clarify the relationship between torque and capacitance. Also, we design an experimental controller that is able to perform speed control with ease by the phase angle control of the AC input voltage. Validity of this study is confirmed through the simulation and experimental results obtained.

This paper is concerned with winding design in capacitor-run single phase motor. Winding design in single phase induction motor is more complicated than that in three phase induction motor, because of using concentric winding in the single phase. Various winding designs are possible, and accordingly layout of the slot is calculated by formula. And then accurate design of winding is available. Using the design process in this paper, we can get the base model with slot layout and turns of windings of 1.12 kW single phase induction motor, and it is verified by finite element analysis. In this paper, winding design and winding layout of single-phase induction motor using concentric winding are suggested.
