Characteristic Constants of Single-Phase Induction Motors Part I: Air-Gap Reactances

This paper is the first of 2 papers dealing with the development of equations for determining the characteristic constants of single-phase induction motors. It is intended to present in the complete paper a unified tabulation of formulas consistent in symbols with those used in the paper which I presented at the midwinter convention of the AIEE, New York, January 28-February 1, 1929. This particular section of the paper deals with a rigorous development of the reactances of single-phase motors which result from fluxes crossing the air gap between the stator and rotor.
