Concept:

Shaded Pole Induction Motor is used in hair dryers.

This is because:

  • The shaded coil in the shaded pole induction motor produces a very weak rotating magnetic field and is also not at constant magnitude.
  • Therefore equipment with small ratings up to 20 watts such as hair dryers, toys, projectors, etc. can work with the shaded pole induction motor.
