inconvenience to produce rotating magnetic field, therefore, the
motor is not self-started. For this SPIM has the auxiliary
winding which has maximum inductance as compared to main
winding and also has some phase difference to produce the
phase shift of fairly accurate to 90ᵒ. And this phase shift is
achieved with the capacitor/inductance in auxiliary winding.
Using, this we shift the motor on two-phase for a while and
then disconnect the auxiliary winding from the circuit. Then
SPIM has actually come into action. This work is used globally
with drawbacks. To improve these drawbacks of this motor
firstly the two-phase supply is obtained from the various
techniques. The Scott-T connection is one of them which then
used to supply two-phase induction motor. As the supply Fig.1 Scott-T connection
purely has the phase shift of 90ᵒ the rotating magnetic field is The motor is connected to phase-1 and phase-2. As the

more require accurate switching frequency to get 90ᵒ phase
shift. Also, this method has been unbalancing of voltage,
protection issue, more switching losses etc [11].

The single-phase Induction motor dynamic model is shown
Fig.5 with the parameter like distance air gap, the linearity of a
magnetic circuit and current flow in the winding. The dynamic
model of single-phase is more complex than three-phase [9].
The equivalent circuit of the d-axis and q-axis is shown in
Fig.5 and 6.

PWM (SPWM) method illustrated. There are different
switching strategies SPWM and SVPWM [5]-[6]-[7]-[8].
In this paper, the two-leg VSI is used for two-phase supply

analogous to three-phase. The asymmetric means the number

turns of the auxiliary is more than the main winding so the
voltage across the auxiliary winding is more than the main
winding [9].

The 2-leg VSI designing is simple and practically less costly.
As TPIM has improved power factor and high starting torque.
Power 0.5HP Voltage 230V
It reduces reactive power consumption which directly affects a
saving of energy.
Further, this system is used with closed loop v/f method to
produce variable speed. This method is upgraded with 3-leg
Frequency 50Hz Poles(Pair) 2 and 4-leg VSI to improve the THD of the system. In closed
loop, v/f system or open loop v/f system switching pluses can
be created with the help of a microcontroller. As the use of a
microcontroller in this system, it should be used for novel
speed controller with help of temperature sensor in Fan type
load. To reduce the THD number of legs of an inverter
increases with increasing in cost.
