    The document summarizes the key differences between single-phase and three-phase induction motors. Single-phase motors require only a single-phase power supply and are not self-starting, requiring a starting mechanism. In contrast, three-phase motors require a three-phase power supply and are self-starting. Three-phase motors also have higher efficiency, power factor, and starting torque compared to single-phase motors. The document provides a table comparing characteristics such as power source, starting mechanism, efficiency, cost, and applications between the two motor types.

    Difference between Single Phase and Three Phase


    Induction Motor

    The main difference between single phase induction motor and three phase induction motor is that
    single phase motors are NOT self-starting so they require some starting mechanism while three-
    phase motors are self-starting. Furthermore, single phase motor requires ONLY single phase supply
    so they produce an alternating magnetic field whereas three phase motor requires three phase supply
    so they produce rotating magnetic field.

    Single phase IM is mainly utilized in household applications like in fans, refrigerator, grinder, and Air
    Conditioner. Three phase IM is primarily used in various industries, factories such as paper mills and
    for traction purposes.

    The differences between single phase and three phase induction motor are explained on the basis of
    very important practical factors such as power source, starting mechanism, starting torque, cost,
    operational reliability, power factor, size, maintenance, structure, and uses.The following table
    presents the key differences between single-phase induction motor and three phase induction motor.
