What is an AC induction motor?
The single phase AC induction motor is a common design for fractional and subfractional motors. The motor consists of two basic electrical assemblies: the stator and the rotor. The stator is the primary electrical circuit that induces a current in the secondary electrical circuit, the rotor. The combined electromagnetic effect of the two circuits produces rotation of the rotor.

There are two types of single phase AC induction motors commonly used for direct fan applications: shaded-pole and permanent split capacitor.
