1. A single phase induction motor comprising:

  • a motor coil;

    a first auxiliary coil connected in parallel with the motor coil;

    a capacitor connected in series with the first auxiliary coil; and

    a starting device comprising a rectifier element, a resistance element, a second auxiliary coil inductively coupled to the first auxiliary coil, and a switch means for deactivating the rectifier element, wherein the rectifier element, the second auxiliary coil, the resistance element and the switch means are connected in series with each other and in parallel with the first auxiliary coil and the capacitor, and wherein the starting device acts in cooperation with the first auxiliary coil for providing a nonzero average flux within the motor coil during a start-up phase of the motor.
