Small single-phase induction motor(SIPM) has been widely used in household appliances such as electric fans, air-conditioning units. The most common used speed control method is with mechanical switch combined with coil connections such as external transform or internal windings connection. This is based on cost considerations. Further control method uses phase control or variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) control, respectively. The main issue of this paper is to explore the power components and efficiency of the phase-control speed process.
