A single-phase induction motor provided with an auxiliary primary winding that is displaced in magnetic position from, and connected in parallel with, the main primary winding. There is a phase difference between the currents in these two windings.
Note: The auxiliary primary winding is designed to assist the starting of the motor and is commonly taken out of circuit during normal running conditions.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
