Single phase induction motor is not a self-starting motor. It is also called capacitor start capacitor run motor, as capacitors are involved here for its operation. Generally, the rotor of a motor starts rotating with the torque provided by its conductors, when it is cut off by the rotating magnetic field created by its field windings. A three phase induction motor is capable of generating a rotating magnetic field by itself, as its three individual phases move with an angle difference of 120 degrees with each phase. For a single phase motor, you need to initially supply an additional phase with a different phase angle, to create the rotating magnetic field for its rotor to start rotating. This additional phase for single phase induction motor is created by the starting capacitor. The behavior of the capacitor current with its phase angle is explained here with an interesting animation work. If this video is helpful, please subscribe to the channel.
