Why a starter is used for a motor?
Answer Posted / milinda4p
at the moment of start there is no rotation of the motor. So there is no back emf present. So the full voltage is applied across the winding so the current is higher( at the moment of start). In this case the starting current is more than 6 times the rated current. So the motor consumes more apparent power( for most of the industrial motors this is measured normally in kVA and metering is carried out for this seperately called maximum demand measuring. This is costed in Rs/kVA and rate is pretty much higher (In sri Lanka Rs 1000/kVA) So due to not using a startor for a motor can cause for much higher electricity bill.

I HAVE A 50A MCCB AS PER DESIGN LINE WIRE CONNECT UPWORD SIDE AND LOAD IS CONNECTED TO DOWNWARD SIDE TO THE MCCB.IF NOW ANY ONE CHANGE SUPPLY & LOAD(WISEVERSA) WHAT HAPPENS ? DOES MCCB OPERATION OR WORKING FUNCTION NORMAL IF YES THAN WHY THERE ARE MARKED LINE & LOAD ON MCCB.
I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.

WILL IT BE CALCULATED ON THE BASES OF MAXIMUM DEMANT VALUE OR ON SUM OF ALL TRANSFORMER'S KVA?
