Why we use Capacitor in Single
Phase Induction Motor?

Answer Posted / durai

To produce a rotating magnetic field we need at least two
phases.with single phase u cannot produce rotation.

So at the time of starting capacitor(starting winding) used
as a second phase to produce field

After that fan will rotate with main winding only

WE know that for Inductor X=2pifL,In DC f=0,then X=0 so,V=IX=0;But In the DC excitation of rotor of AC generator,DC motor field coil which coils are inductor so why does not applying DC voltage short the rotor coil of AC generator and field coil of motor?If it would then DC source might be damaged but it is not happened. Why does the strand conductor of Electrical power transmission line make twist?
