Chapter-2: Dynamic Behavior of Electric Drives
As the motor picks up speed, the value of Rext is gradually decreased to zero so
that during running no external resistance remains in the armature circuit.
But each time one has to restart the motor, the external armature resistance must
be set to maximum value by moving the jockey manually.

Starting methods of three phase
induction motor
3-phase induction motors employ a starting
method not to provide a starting torque at the rotor, but because of
the following reasons;
Reduce heavy starting currents and prevent motor from
overheating.
Provide overload and no-voltage protection
DIFFERENT TYPES OF STARTERS FOR 3
PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR (IM)
Star-delta starter,
Auto-transformer starter,
Soft starter
Starting methods
Vin=em f as impedance neglected.
The starting current is quite high, about 4-6 times the current at full load,
may be higher, depending on the rating of IM, as compared to no load
current.
The starting current increases, the starting torque also increases. This results
in higher accelerating torque (minus the load torque and the torque
component of the losses), with the motor reaching rated or near rated speed
quickly
Starting methods
Starting direct on line
It is directly connects the contacts of
the motor to the full supply voltage.
The starting current is very large,
normally 6 to 8 times the rated
current.
the DOL starter is typically only used
for motors with a rating of less than
5kW.
The starting torque is likely to be 0.75
to 2 times the full load torque.
In order to avoid excessive voltage
drops in the supply line due to high
starting currents
There are safety mechanisms inside
the DOL starter which provides
protection to the motor as well as the
operator of the motor.
The power and control circuits of induction motor With
DOL starter
The DOL starter consists of a coil
operated contactor K1M controlled
by start and stop push buttons.
On pressing the start push button S1,
the contactor coil K1M is energized
from line L1.
The three mains contacts (1-2), (3-4),
and (5-6) in fig. (1) are closed. The
motor is thus connected to the
supply.
When the stop pushbutton S2 is
pressed, the supply through the
contactor K1M is disconnected. Since
the K1M is de-energized, the main
contacts (12), (3-4), and (5-6) are
opened. The supply to motor is
disconnected and the motor stops.

Star Delta starter
This starting method is reduced the supply voltage by one third that
starter.
winding arrangements from star to delta where upon full running torque
When the two stator windings are energized from a single – phase
supply, the current I in the main winding and auxiliary winding lag
behind the supply voltage V, and Ia leading the current Im.
The first capacitor is rated for intermittent duty used only for
starting & the second one is to be rated for continuous duty, as it is
used for running.
The phasor diagram of two currents in both cases, and the torque-
speed characteristics with two windings having different values of
capacitors.
The phase difference between the two currents is in the first case
(starting), while it is for 90° second case (running). This methods
improves both at the time of starting and then running. This motor is
used in applications, such as compressor, refrigerator, etc
