Project description:

Resistor starting is one of the methods employed to reduce the amount of starting current. It is
accomplished by connecting resistors in series with the motor during the starting period (Figure 1). Some
control circuits sense motor speed to determine when to shunt the resistors out of the power line e (Figure
2). In the illustration, permanent magnets are attached to the motor shaft, and a Hall effect sensor
determines the motor speed. When the motor speed reaches a predetermined level, contactor R
energizes and shunts the resistors out of the line
