Hi !! GM, Thanks for your reply, i have seen the site and i m sorry
that i couldn't understand the types which are mentioned there. It
would be helpful if you provide me some more references or your views
for that.
Thanks again.

The capacitor cause a phase shift to one of the coils.

has a little information on them, but I don't have time right now to do
more research. I think I have an old book on these motors, but it is
packed away, right now.
