Abstract :
This paper reviews the generalized subject of core losses in single-phase AC induction motors and discusses the proper selection of stator core materials to reduce those losses. It also describes a unique method of interconnecting the stator windings that results in improved efficiency in multi-speed induction motors operating with a fan-type load
