1. Starters are made from two building blocks, controller and overload protection.
2. Reduced voltage starters are used for two main reasons. These are:
To avoid overloading the power distribution system.
To avoid unnecessary wear and tear on equipment by reducing starting torque.
3. The earliest developed type of reduced voltage starter is the primary resistor
reduced voltage starter.
4. Draw lines to match each type of reduced voltage starter to its common
application type:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Solid State: D. Machine tools, hoists and packaging equipment

Wye Delta: A. Centrifugal compressors and centrifuges
Primary Resistor: B. Belt and gear drives, conveyors and textile machines
Part Winding: E. Reciprocating compressors, pumps and fans
5. Autotransformer: C. Blowers, compressors and conveyors
5. To allow smooth operation to continue throughout the start-up process, the open
transition, type of wye delta starter uses an extra contactor and a set of resistors.

6. The least expensive of all the reduced voltage starting methods is Part Winding.
7. The most important factors in determining the size of the starter the customer
requires, are the applications Motor nameplate full load amps,and the horsepower rating.
8. List six of the pieces of application information you will need to obtain from the
customer before you can recommend a specific reduced voltage starter.
Cost limitations
Environmental Concerns
Enclosure type required
Electrical service range
Overload protection required
Number of starts required per hour
