is there anyone who knows a company that can design single phase induction motor prototypes in the UK..Thanks for your help
Hello Everyone....Single phase induction motor design

In summary, a single phase induction motor is an electric motor that uses a single phase AC power supply to create a rotating magnetic field and produce mechanical energy. It works by using a stator with two windings and has advantages such as simplicity, low cost, and reliability. The main components include a stator, rotor, bearings, and end shields, and important factors in its design include load type and size, speed and torque requirements, and power supply frequency and voltage. Other considerations include efficiency, starting torque, and noise level.

I don't know that there aren't, but I wouldn't think that there are. It's generally much more efficient and, over-all, less expensive to use three phase motors. But if you find any motor design company, I'm sure they'd do whatever it was you asked...for the proper fee. 
May I ask what it is you need the motor for?

A custom design would cost a fortune compared to buying a motor of existing design.
FAQ: Hello Everyone....Single phase induction motor design
1. What is a single phase induction motor?
A single phase induction motor is an electric motor that uses a single phase AC power supply to create a rotating magnetic field, which in turn causes a rotor to rotate and produce mechanical energy.
2. How does a single phase induction motor work?
A single phase induction motor works by using a stator with two windings - a main winding and an auxiliary winding. When an AC voltage is applied to the main winding, it creates a magnetic field that induces a current in the rotor. This current produces a second magnetic field that interacts with the stator's field, causing the rotor to rotate.
3. What are the advantages of a single phase induction motor?
The main advantages of a single phase induction motor are its simplicity, low cost, and reliability. It is also suitable for a wide range of applications and can be easily controlled using external devices.
4. What are the main components of a single phase induction motor?
The main components of a single phase induction motor include a stator, rotor, bearings, and end shields. The stator is the stationary part of the motor that contains the windings, while the rotor is the rotating part that produces the mechanical energy. Bearings help to support the rotor and allow it to spin smoothly, and end shields protect the motor's internal components.
5. What factors are important in designing a single phase induction motor?
Some of the key factors in designing a single phase induction motor include the type and size of the load, the required speed and torque, and the power supply frequency and voltage. The motor's efficiency, starting torque, and noise level should also be considered during the design process.
