When the main winding of the shaded pole motor is energized, the shaded pole winding will also generate induced current, which will make the magnetic flux of the covered part of the stator pole and the uncovered part rotate in the direction of the covered part.
The shaded pole induction motor is simply a self-starting single-phase induction motor whose one of the pole is shaded by the copper ring. The copper ring is also called the shaded ring. This copper ring act as a secondary winding for the motor. The shaded pole motor rotates only in one particular direction, and the reverse movement of the motor is not possible.
