STARTER
NEED OF STARTER
• If a rated stator voltage is applied to the motor at the time of starting,

then the motor will draw heavy starting current.
• This will lead to excess i2R losses in the winding which will overheat
the motor.
• Secondly due to a heavy current drawn from the AC supply voltage
will reduce.
• The heavy starting current may damage the motor windings.
• In order to avoid these problems, we can use some kind of a starter to
start the induction motor safely.
TYPES OF STARTER
• Stator resistance starter
• Auto transformer starting
• Star-delta starter
• Rotor resistance starter
• Variable frequency starting
• Direct on line (DOL) starter
STATOR RESISTANCE STARTER
• A starter resistance is connected in each line in series with
each phase winding of the stator.
• Initially all the starter resistance are kept in “Start” position so
that they offer their maximum resistance .
• The switch is turned ON to connect the three phase AC supply
to the stator winding.
• Due to starter resistance in series, each phase winding will
receive a reduced voltage. Due to reduction in the value of V1 ,
the starting current is limited to a safe value.
• As the motor accelerates, the starter resistance is reduced by
moving the variable contact of the resistance towards the
“Run” position.
• In the “Run” position, the starter resistance is shorted out and
full stator voltage is applied across the stator winding.
AUTO-TRANSFORMER STARTER
• An autotransformer is used to apply a low voltage to the stator
winding at the time of starting. When the motor speed reaches the
desired level, autotransformer is disconnected and motor is
connected directly across the supply.
• The stator of the motor is connected through a 6-way double
throw switch.
• While starting, the switch is thrown to ‘Start’ side so that a
reduced voltage is applied to stator. This keeps the starting current
safe limits.
• Once motor take up the speed, the switch is throw to ‘Run’ side so
that full supply voltage is applied to stator.
• A specific advantage of this starter is that reduction in voltage
during starting, can be done to any desired level by selecting
proper tapping of the autotransformer.
ROTOR RESISTANCE STARTER.
• This starter is used with a wound rotor induction motor. It uses an

external resistance/phase in the rotor circuit so that rotor will develop
a high value of torque.
• High torque is produced at low speeds, when the external resistance is
at its higher value.
• At start, supply power is connected to stator through a three pole
contactor and, at a same time, an external rotor resistance is added.
• The high resistance limits staring current and allows the motor to
start safely against high load.
• Resistors are normally of the wire-wound type, connected through
brushes and slip rings to each rotor phase. They are tapped with
points brought out to fixed contactors.
• As the motor starts, the external rotor resistance is gradually cut out
of circuit ; the handle or starter is turned and moves the three
contacts simultaneously from one fixed contact to the next.
• The three moving contacts are interconnected to form a start point
for the resistors.
STAR DELTA STARTER
• Most induction motors are started directly on line, but when

very large motors are started that way, they cause a
disturbance of voltage on the supply lines due to large starting
current surges.
• To limit the starting current surge, large induction motors are
started at reduced voltage and then have full supply voltage
reconnected when they run up to near rotated speed.
STAR-DELTA CONNECTION IN

STAR DELTA POWER CIRCUIT

MOTOR STARTING
CHARACTERISTICS OF STAR-DELTA
STARTER:
• Available starting current: 33% Full Load Current.
• Peak starting current: 1.3 to 2.6 Full Load Current.
• Peak starting torque: 33% Full Load Torque.

ADVANTAGES OF STAR-DELTA STARTER:
• The operation of the star-delta method is simple and rugged

• It is relatively cheap compared to other reduced voltage
methods.
• Good Torque/Current Performance.
• It draws 2 times starting current of the full load ampere of the
motor connected
DISADVANTAGES OF STAR-DELTA
STARTER:
• Low Starting Torque, only 33% starting torque

• Break In Supply – Possible Transients
• Six Terminal Motor Required (Delta Connected).
• It requires 2 set of cables from starter to motor.
• The delta of motor is formed in starter and not on motor
terminals.
• Applications with a load torque higher than 50 % of the motor
rated torque will not be able to start using the start-delta
starter.
• Low Starting Torque: reduction of the line voltage by a
factor of 1/√3 (57.7%) to the motor and the current is reduced
to 1/3 of the current at full voltage, but the starting torque is
also reduced 1/3 to 1/5 of the DOL starting torque .
WIRING DIAGRAM OF DOL STARTER:
MOTOR STARTING
CHARACTERISTICS ON DOL
STARTER:
• Available starting current: 100%.

• Peak starting current: 6 to 8 Full Load Current.
• Peak starting torque: 100%
ADVANTAGES OF DOL STARTER:
• Most Economical and Cheapest Starter

• Simple to establish, operate and maintain
• Simple Control Circuitry
• Easy to understand and trouble‐shoot.
• It provides 100% torque at the time of starting.
• Only one set of cable is required from starter to motor.
• Motor is connected in delta at motor terminals.
DISADVANTAGES OF DOL STARTER:
• It does not reduce the starting current of the motor.

• High Starting Current: Very High Starting Current
(Typically 6 to 8 times the FLC of the motor).
• Mechanically Harsh: Thermal Stress on the motor, thereby
reducing its life.
• Voltage Dip: There is a big voltage dip in the electrical
installation
• High starting Torque: Unnecessary high starting torque,
even when not required by the load.
SUITABILITY
• DOL is Suitable for:

• Small water pumps, compressors, fans and conveyor belts.
• Motor rating up to 5.5KW
• DOL is not suitable for:
• The peak starting current would result in a serious voltage
drop on the supply system
• Motor rating above 5.5KW
VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE
(VFD)
• A variable-frequency drive (VFD), also termed adjustable-
frequency drive, variable speed drive, AC drive, micro drive
or inverter drive is a type of adjustable-speed drive used in
electro-mechanical drive systems.
• It controls AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input
frequency and voltage.
PRINCIPLE OF VFD
• Variable frequency Drive, principle of the same is by
regulating the frequency, we can regulate the speed of drive
• Example - n=120f/p
• Where,
• n - speed
• f - frequency
• p – nos. of poles
VFD FLOW DIAGRAM
APPLICATION
• Cane Carrier Drive,
• Feeder Table Drive,
• Milling Plant Drive,
• Raw juice Pumps,
• Sulphited Juice Pumps,
• Molasses Pumps,
• Injection Pumps,
• Cooling Tower Pumps and
• Centrifugals for a Sugar Curing and Chemical Dosing pump.
