Single phase induction motors are used in number of applications such
as in offices, homes and in factories. Their numerous applications and
immense importance lead to the study of the general characteristics of
such motors. In this paper the input data of a given single phase
induction motor without core loss is obtained from laboratory and the
motor equivalent circuit is developed from the input parameters and this
circuit helps to obtain the principle of double revolving theory.
Determination of the output parameters from input parameters using
circuit equations lead to the plotting graphs of the motor performance
characteristics for the purpose of illustration. The paper also
demonstrates the simulation of the steady-state performance by
MATLAB program
