A single-phase asynchronous motor is widely used in the most common mixers, as it works powered by single-phase voltage. It consists of a winding in the rotor and two windings in the stator according to a squirrel cage pattern, where the ends are short-circuited in a closed loop.

The presence of 1 cylindrical capacitor - or, as in the OMM2 series, 2 - in the single-phase motor serves to give load or current input to the motor itself. In other words, it serves to phase shift the current of one of the two windings with respect to the other, to obtain a rotating magnetic field at start-up. A single-phase motor with 2 capacitors is, therefore, used when a high starting torque is required.

Ome Motors pays particular attention to the design of its single-phase electric motors with 2 capacitors as well as their packaging, which guarantee greater safety during transport as well as easier handling.
