StartIng of InductIon motor
For induction motors, the starting torque (LRT) is approximately
proportional to the square of the starting current (LRA) drawn from the
line. LRT ∝ I2
This starting current is proportional to the applied voltage (V)
Torque can also be considered to be approximately proportional to the
applied voltage. LRT ∝ V2
An induction motor will develop far too much torque when connected
directly to the supply.

By Adjusting voltage during starting, the current drawn by the motor and the
torque produced by the motor can be reduced and controlled.

priMary resistance starter
priMary resistance starter
In this method of starting of 3-Phase induction motor ,
primary resistance are connected in all the three phase of the
stator winding, as a result the applied voltage across the
stator winding at the instant of starting in reduced to a
fraction x of the rated voltage of the motor. Therefore the
initial high starting current will also reduce by the same
fraction.
Disadvantages:
Heat is given of T by the resistors.
Expensive resistors are required because starting duration usually exceeds 5
seconds.
Low torque efficiency.

Starting CharaCteriStiCS:
Motor terminal voltage less than line voltage (by transformer
ratio).
Motor current exceeds line current (by inverse of transformer
ratio).
Starting torque is reduced by the square of the terminal
voltage.
