4. THEORY

This starter concept is same as Direct On Line Starter but Differ in terms
of motor rotation

5. EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE

5.1 EXERCISE 1 : CONTROL CIRCUIT

5.1.1 Connect the control circuit as shown in Figure 1(a) or
1(b).
5.1.2 This circuit become to single phase. Take the incoming
supply from 1 to 3 phase line (either R or Y or B).
5.1.3 Connect this circuit line back to the neutral (N) by using
black cable.
5.1.4 Test this circuit with power supply to make operation of
controlling circuit.
5.1.5 See the operation of this control circuit.
