Why Shaded Pole Motors Are Widely Used

2025-04-27

Shaded pole motors are widely used, even more than other motors, and are used in our daily household appliances. So why do household appliances generally use shaded pole motors? Let's analyze it.


On the one hand, in order to save energy and resources, shaded-pole motors are gradually applied to various household appliances. Shaded-pole motors have the advantages of simple structure, reliable operation, low price, low noise, and no radio interference. Widely used in household appliances to drive ventilator loads, such as electric fans, hair dryers and appliances. It belongs to a large category of fractional horsepower motors.


With the revitalization of China's home appliance industry, it has broad market potential and should be a promising product. Production status of shaded-pole motors for household appliances According to rough statistics, the output of shaded-pole motors in my country in the past two years can reach more than 2 million units per year.



Shaded pole motors are AC single-phase induction motors. The auxiliary winding consists of copper rings, called shaded pole coils. The current in the coil retards the phase of the magnetic flux at the poles, providing a rotating magnetic field. The direction of rotation is from unshaded pole to shaded pole ring.

Shaded pole coils (rings) are designed so that the axis of the magnetic pole is offset from the axis of the main pole. Magnetic field coils and additional shaded pole coils generate a weak rotating magnetic field. When the stator is energized, the magnetic flux of the pole body creates a voltage in the shield coil, which acts as the secondary winding of the transformer. The current in the secondary winding of the transformer is not synchronized with the current in the primary winding, and the magnetic flux of the shield pole is not synchronized with the magnetic flux of the main pole.


In a shaded-pole motor, the rotor is placed in a simple C-shaped iron core, with half of each pole covered by a shaded-pole coil. When alternating current is passed through the power coil, a pulsating magnetic flux is created. When the magnetic flux passing through the shading coil changes, voltage and current are induced in the shading coil, which corresponds to the change in the magnetic flux from the power supply coil. Therefore, the magnetic flux under the shadow pole coil lags behind the magnetic flux in the rest of the coil. The rotor produces a tiny spin in the magnetic flux, which causes the rotor to spin.
