As we know that single phase induction is not self started because for self started we require atleast two revolving field but single phase induction motor has only one. So we provide extra auxiliary winding so can single phase induction motor can start based on type of auxiliary winding provided 1phase IM classified as split phase IM, capacitor start capacitor run, capacitor start induction run.
