What is the starting current value compared to full load current?

The starting current of any electrical equipment which is 6 times more than that of the full load current. ex: full load current = 5 A the starting current will be 5*6 = 30 A.


How is the full load current different to the starting current- is the full load current higher or lower than the starting current?

While starting a motor from standstill to its rated speed, the motor has to overcome the inertia and generate enough torque to over come it. In the process the motor takes higher current during the starting. Once started and set in motion the current reduces ti its normal value. Full load current is lower than the starting current normally.


Why is the starting current high in DC motor?

The starting current is high because when the motor is not rotating no back-emf is generated, leaving the starting current to be determined by the armature resistance, which should be low.

Which motor has a higher starting torque?

A series-wound commutator motor has the best starting torque because the torque is proportional to the square of the current, and the starting current is set by a current-limiting resistor which is switched out as the motor builds up speed.
