There are several methods to start a single phase motor, including:
1. Direct-on-line (DOL) starting: This is the simplest and most common method of starting a single phase motor. The motor is connected directly to the power supply, causing it to start running immediately.
2. Capacitor start: This method involves using a capacitor to create a phase shift in the motor's windings, allowing it to start smoothly and efficiently.
3. Capacitor start/capacitor run: This method is similar to capacitor start, but involves using two capacitors - one for starting and one for running - to provide additional torque and efficiency.
4. Split-phase starting: This method involves using a special starting winding in the motor that is disconnected once the motor reaches a certain speed, allowing it to run on the main winding.
5. Electronic soft start: This method involves using an electronic device to gradually ramp up the voltage to the motor, reducing the starting current and stress on the motor.
The specific method used will depend on the type and size of the motor, as well as the application requirements.

Methods of Starting Single-Phase Motors:
1. Capacitor-Start Motor:
- Uses a capacitor to create a starting phase shift in the motor's stator windings. - Once the motor reaches a certain speed, the capacitor is switched out of the circuit.
2. Capacitor-Run Motor:
- Similar to capacitor-start motor, but the capacitor remains connected during operation. - Provides better running torque and efficiency.
3. Split-Phase Motor:
- Two stator windings, one main winding and one auxiliary winding. - Auxiliary winding is displaced from the main winding and connected to a capacitor. - Capacitor creates a phase shift, causing the auxiliary winding to produce a lagging current that starts the motor.
4. Shaded Pole Motor:
- Uses a shaded pole in the stator to induce a starting torque. - Shaded pole consists of a copper ring that surrounds a portion of the motor's stator pole. - When the motor is energized, the alternating magnetic field induces a current in the copper ring, which creates a magnetic field that interacts with the stator's magnetic field to start the motor.
5. Permanent Split-Capacitor (PSC) Motor:
- Combines the capacitor-start and capacitor-run methods. - Uses a capacitor that remains connected during both starting and running. - Provides good starting torque and efficiency.
6. Electronic Start Motor:
- Uses an electronic control module to provide optimal starting and running conditions. - May include features such as soft-starting, speed control, and overload protection.
