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.
