The starting current goes abnormally high to take care of initial torque requirement, which is not good for the switch gear or for the power system, hence it needs to be controlled.
Motor starting current is typically 5-7 times the rated current of the motor. (For three phase induction motors)
because at the starting the induction motor drawn a heavy current thats why we use starter to increase the starting resistance of the induction motor!
because of starting current of induction motor is very high and it damages the insulation of motor
starting current of 3 phase 75 KW induction motor
Squirrel Cage Induction Motor Disadvantages:Some of disadvantages or demerits of squirrel cage induction motors are listed below:Main disadvantage of squirrel cage induction motor is that they have poor starting torque and high starting currents. Starting torque will be in the order of 1.5 to 2 times the full load torque and starting current is as high as 5 to 9 times the full load current. In slip ring induction motors, higher starting torque can be attained by providing an external resistance in the rotor circuits during starting of the slip-ring induction motor. This arrangement in slip-ring induction motors also reduces the high inrush currents during starting of induction motor.Squirrel cage induction motors are more sensitive to the supply voltage fluctuations. When the supply voltage is reduced, induction motor draws more current. During voltage surges, increase in voltage saturates themagnetic components of the squirrel cage induction motor.Speed control is not possible in squirrel cage induction motor. This is one of the major diadvantages of squirrel cage induction motors.The total energy loss during starting of squirrel cage motor is more compared to slip ring motors. This point is significant if the application involves frequent starting
Induction motor is an AC electric motor which uses electromagnetic induction to induce the electric current in the rotor to produce torque.
A star-delta starter is a method used to reduce the starting current drawn by a 3-phase induction motor. It involves initially connecting the motor windings in a star configuration for starting, and then switching to a delta configuration for running. This helps to minimize voltage drops and prevents excessive current flow during start-up.
When an induction motor starts up, it draws a large current, 6-8 times for direct on line starting and around 3 times for star delta or soft starting. This results in the voltage dipping. VSD controlled induction motors which start from zero speed do not result in voltage dips.
slip power is a power which is develop by the induced voltage and current in an induction motor
LRA (locked rotor amperage) is not considered. Starting current for a motor is usually in the neighbourhood of 300% of the FLA (full load amps). The FLA is taken from the motor's nameplate.
DOL(Direct Online starting) Star Delta starting Auto transformer starting Above methods are for squirrel cage induction motor Rotor resistance starting is used for wound rotor or slip ring induction motor
Yes, that is one of the major advantages of a three-phase induction motor.
