3. Starting Of Induction Motor
For induction motors, the starting torque (T) is
approximately proportional to the square of the
starting current (I) drawn from the line. T ∝ I2
This starting current is proportional to the applied
voltage (V)
Torque can also be considered to be
approximately proportional to the applied voltage.
T ∝ V2
An induction motor will develop far too much
torque when connected directly to the supply.
At the instant of start-up, there are some un-
necessary effect on electrical and the mechanical
components.Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
4. Un-Necessary Mechanical Effects
The sudden impact at start up on the load, followed
by the rapid acceleration to full speed causes
excessive wear on :-
Belts and pulleys
Gears and chains
Couplings and bearings, etc.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
5. Un-necessary Electrical Effects
A heavy current surge on the electrical supply
which can be severe enough to cause voltage
dips and flickering lights.
Burning of contacts due to high currents which
are many times the motor full-load current.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
6. Problems Arises By These Effects
Continuous maintenance.
Greater chance of unscheduled shutdowns
Oversized mechanical and electrical
components to cater for the power surge on
start up.
Short component life.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
7. Starter
By Adjusting voltage during starting, the current
drawn by the motor and the
Torque produced by the motor can be reduced
and controlled.
Function Of Starter
Start and stop the motor.
Limit inrush current where necessary.
Permit automatic control when required
Protect motor and other connected equipments
from over voltage, no voltage, under voltage,
single phasing etc.Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)

Auto transformer starter
Star delta starter
Primary resistance starter

10. Starting Of Slip Ring Induction
Motor
In case of slip ring induction motors it is possible
to add external resistance in rotor phases as
wound rotor has 3-phase star connected
winding to limit the starting high current.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
12. In rotor resistance starter the three terminals of the
rotor winding are connected to a variable external
resistances through slip rings.
Full supply voltage is applied across the stator.
Resistances are fully in the circuit at starting , so that
the starting current is reduced. The external variable
resistance connected in each phase of the rotor
circuit not only reduce the current at starting but
increases the starting torque also due to
improvement in power factor.
The rotor circuit resistance is gradually cut out , as the
motor speeds up and during normal running
condition ,the rotor circuit resistance is completely
cut out and the slip rings are short circuited.Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
14. D.O.L.(Direct On Line) starter
A Starter Which Connects A Motor Directly Across The Line
Is Called D.O.L. Starter.
In This Method, The Motor Is Connected By Means Of A
Starter Across The Full Supply Voltage.
It Is Very Simple, Inexpensive, Easy To Install And Maintain.
It Consist - START Button
OFF Button
Electromagnetic Contactor
Overload Relay
Switching By This Starter Is Directly From Line Without Any
Provision To Control The Starting Current i.e. There Is No
Device To Reduce The Starting Current In This Starter.
Note: Only used for less than 5 KW squirrel cage induction
motor.

16. Protection In This Type of Starter
Under Voltage Protection
Overload Protection
1) Under Voltage Protection
When supply voltage is not sufficient or there is failure of
power supply , the coil C is de-energized and motor will
be disconnected.
2) Overload Protection
The motor is protected against overload by a thermal
overload relay which open circuits the control circuit
when overload occur.
The normally closed contact D is opened and the
contactor coil C is de-energized to disconnect the
motor from the supply.

20. Star-Delta Starter
This is very commonly used starter, compared to
the other types of the starters.
Star-delta starter can be used, provided the
stator of the 3-O induction motor is designed for
delta connection during its normal operation.
At starting, the stator winding is connected in star,
therefore the applied voltage to each phase of
winding is 1/√3 of the rated voltage of the motor.
When the motor has picked-up the speed(say 70
to 80% of its normal speed ) the phases of the
stator winding are connected in delta.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
21. Now full supply voltage is applied across the
stator windings.
This method is cheap but limited to applications
where high starting torque is not necessary e.g.,
machine tools, pumps, motor-generator sets etc.
The method is unsuitable for motors for voltage
exceeding 3000 V because of the excessive
number of stator turns needed for delta
connection.
Such starters are employed for starting 3-phase
squirrel cage induction motors of rating between
4 and 20 k W.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
25. Advantages Of Star-delta Starter:
The operation of the star-delta method is simple
and rugged
It is relatively cheap compared to other
reduced voltage methods.
Good Torque/Current Performance.
It draws 2 times starting current of the full load
ampere of the motor connected
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
26. Disadvantages Of Star-delta Starter:
Low Starting Torque, only 33% starting torque
Six Terminal Motor Required (Delta Connected).
It requires 2 set of cables from starter to motor.
Presented By:-Gurkirat Singh (Electrical Engineering)
27. Auto Transformer Starter
An auto-transformer starter makes it possible to
start squirrel cage induction motors with reduced
starting current, as the voltage across the motor is
reduced during starting.
In contrast to the star-delta connection, only three
motor leads and terminals are required. On
starting, the motor is connected to the tapping of
the auto-transformer.
The all to-transformers are generally tapped at the
50, 60 and 80 per cent.
Auto-transformers may be either normally, or
magnetically operated.
