Shaded pole motors are simple and inexpensive types of single-phase induction motors. They are typically manufactured with power ratings between (frac125) HP (horsepower) to (frac16) HP. This makes them suitable for low-power applications such as small fans, hair dryers, and other household appliances. Their construction is simple with low starting torque, and they are not used for higher power ranges like 3 HP to 10 HP, which require more robust motor types.
