A single phase asynchronous motor is a kind of engine wherein the source of power used for the creation of kinetic energy is done through the use of electromagnetic induction. It is for this reason that the single phase asynchronous motor is also known as an induction motor. Single phase asynchronous motor is also referred to as a squirrel cage because the design of the engine is very similar to that of a squirrel cage or a hamster wheel. Single phase asynchronous motor commonly uses electricity as the source of power which is then converted to mechanical power. Single phase asynchronous motors are commonly used in most industrial devices in order to speed tasks without hampering on its efficiency.
