                        Construction
                        Construction is similar as that of 3-phase squirrel 
                         induction motor 
                        A single phase induction motor has two main parts
                      1. Stator 
                           Similar to 3-phase induction motor 
                           Consisting of a steel frame that supports a hollow, 
                             Laminated cylindrical core
                           Core, constructed from stacked laminations (why?), 
                             having a number of evenly spaced slots, providing the 
                             space for the stator winding.
