We earlier proposed a new type of three-phase induction motor excited by a single-phase power supply that may be useful for conserving energy in the future. However, in order to practically use the motor, the output power and efficiency need to be further improved. Therefore, the distribution of magnetic flux density in the stator should be suitable one for the three-phase. This paper discusses the effect of magnetic anisotropy in the stator core on the performance characteristics of the motor.
