 Introduction

It is used for low rating usually below 5HP motors. In direct

online starter method of motor starting, the motor stator windings
is directly connected to the main supply where the DOL protect
the motor circuit from high inrush current which may damage the
overall circuit as the initial current is much more higher than the
full rated current. A single-phase DOL motor starter can be
designed using the same components as shown in following
diagram. We have to use all 3 poles of the overload relay
otherwise the imbalance due to the current flow in only 2 of them
will cause unnecessary tripping. Working of DOL Starter…
DOL Starter Diagram :
Working Principal Of DOL Starter :

The working principle of a DOL starter begins with the

connection to the 3-phase main with the motor. The control circuit
is connected to any two phases and energized from them
only.When we press the start button, the current flows through the
contactor coil (magnetizing coil) and control circuit also.The
current energises the contactor coil and leads to close the contacts,
and hence 3-phase supply becomes available to the motor. The
control circuit for a DOL Starter is shown below. If we press the
stop button, the current through the contact becomes
discontinued, hence supply to the motor will not be available, and
the similar thing will happen when the overload relay operates.
Since the supply of motor breaks, the machine will come to
rest.The contactor coil (Magnetizing Coil) gets supply even
though we release start button because when we release start
button, it will get supply from the primary contacts as illustrated
in the diagram of the Direct Online Starter.
Advantages of DOL Starter :

1. Simple and most economical starter.

2. More comfortable to design, operate and control.

3. Provides nearly full starting torque at starting.

4. Easy to understand and troubleshoot.

5. DOL starter connects the supply to the delta winding

of the motor.
Disadvantages of DOL Starter :

1. High starting current (5-8 times of full load current).

2. DOL Starter causes a significant dip in voltage, hence

suitable only for small motors.

3. DOL Starter reduces the lifespan of the machine.

4. Mechanically tough.

5. Unnecessary high starting torque

 DOL Starter Applications :

The applications of DOL starters are primarily motors where a

high inrush current does not cause excessive voltage drop in the
supply circuit (or where this high voltage drop is acceptable).

Direct on line starters are commonly used to start small water

pumps, conveyor belts, fans, and compressors. In the case of an
asynchronous motor (such as the 3-phase squirrel-cage motor)
the motor will draw a high starting current until it has run up to
full speed
Features Of DOL Starting :

1. It provides high starting current.

2. It provides high starting torque.

3. It causes voltage dip in the power mains.

4. It has the simplest controlling mechanism.

5. It is suitable for low power rated motor.

While Tripping the Motor:

 Start Pushbutton NO become NO

 Stop push-button NC become NC

 Kno become Kno

 OLR NC become NO
