intervals and take advantage of the phase voltage peaks that occur at the same intervals. In the case of a two pole, single phase motor, two poles are located 180 deg apart. Because no poles are in between, no rotational field is generated and some additional starting technique is required for rotation to begin.
Next month we will explore the characteristics of resistive and inductive circuits.
