Best Answer

In a 3 phase induction motor, particularly the larger units, hot start and cold start refer to the temperature of the motor when starting. Hot start is usually a restart after coasting to a stop. Cold start is an initial start, after not having run for a relatively long period of time. This is important because there is usually a limit on the number of hot starts that are allowed in a certain period of time. This is due to the fact that these motors pull more current starting than when they run, and if you start them too often they can overheat.

What is difference in a cold climate starter motor?

Cold climate starters are capable of delivering higher current during cold start. Cold start system is always a combination of the starter motor with a suitable battery.

What Preservation can be done on electric motors while in storage?

• Bearings - Static Indentation Motors should be stored in an area free from any source of vibration since this can cause premature bearing failure due to static indentation • Lubrication Motor bearings are lubricated at the factory for the shelf life of the grease (approximately 4 years). • Condensation Motors should be stored in a warmed, ventilated storage area to minimize the risk of condensation. • Motors provided with drain holes The drain holes should be kept open and clean. In storage the motors should be stood such that the drain holes are at the lowest point so that any condensation which does form will escape. • Motors without drain holes Provided that the environment is warmed and ventilated, no action is necessary, although a periodic insulation test is advisable (approximately every three months) to ensure it is maintained above 1 megaohm. If motors are to be used or stored in cold and/or damp environments, we would recommend the fitting of anticondensation heaters; the heaters should be permanently energised if stored in these conditions. N.B. Heater circuit to be isolated before inspection

Explain why specialised starter equipment and protection devices are needed for a large ac induction motors?

The need for a specialized starter equipment is very essential. The starter plays an important role. Reason? Each motors have their own different temperatures where some motors are used in extremely hot weather and extremely cold weather. The protection device is also very important where it helps protect the motor from getting damage. What protects the circuit from getting damage? Well there can be relays placed in the circuit protecting the Mort from excessive current.
