In case of a shaded pole motor the direction of rotation of the motor is__________?

Correct answer: A. from main pole to shaded pole

  • A. from main pole to shaded pole
  • B. from shaded pole to main pole
  • C. either of the above depending on voltage
  • D. either of the above depending on power factor

Explanation

The shaded portion reaches its induced magnetic effect later than the unshaded portion, producing a sweeping field from the main, unshaded pole toward the shaded pole. The rotor consequently moves from the main pole to the shaded pole.
