    Question

    In a shaded-pole motor, shading coils are provided to-

    A.

    Reduce winding losses

    B.

    Reduce friction losses

    C.

    Produce a rotating magnetic field

    D.

    Protect against sparking

    E.

    Stop the electric field

    Correct option is C

    Shading coils: In a shaded-pole motor, a shading coil is a short-circuited copper ring or coil placed on a part of the stator pole.

    \Rotating magnetic field: When single-phase power is applied to the motor, the shading coil creates a slightly delayed magnetic flux in its shaded portion compared to the unshaded portion.

    Resulting rotation: This difference in magnetic flux across the poles produces a rotating magnetic field, which is necessary for the motor to start and rotate.
