Why, the starting current of 3 phase Induction Motor is 7
to 8 times its rated current?

Answer Posted / stalin raj

The motor needs high torque to starts its rotation.The
torque is directly proportional to the square of the
current.Hence it takes a large current at starting.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
