None, it is an electric motor

In fact, most cars have SERIES connected starter motors - an electric motor where the field windings (the ones that are fitted to the case of the machine and don't move) have the same current flowing in them that the armature (the rotating part of the motor) has. A series motor has very high starting torque, so it's ideal for getting a large lump of scrap metal turning over, but it has poor running (high speed) torque and poor speed control. (Speed control is so poor that if you spin up a starter motor without a load, it may over-speed and possibly throw its windings out of the armature!)

Some starter motors use permanent magnets for the field system - these magnets are quite powerful and give the motor good starting torque, and magnet systems are smaller than the series coil systems, and make the starter motor a bit lighter and cheaper. These motors also have a lower top speed at no load, too.

How much KW range can be use star-delta starter?

The use of a star delta starter is for motor control only and not resistive heating loads. This type of starter is used to dampen the inrush current by using a lower voltage to start the motor.


How do you work Dol starter?

A DOL or direct on line starter works by connecting the motor terminals directly to the power supply when they are energized. A DOL starter is the simplest type of motor starter.


What is meant by DOL direct on line?

DOL or Direct On Line is used when referring to induction motor starters. The simplest and most common type of motor starter is the Direct On Line. Some examples where a DOL starter would be used can include water pumps, compressors, conveyor belts and fans. A DOL starter can only be used if the sudden inrush of the motor starting does not cause voltage to drop excessively in the supply circuit.


Can a voltmeter be used to measure voltage in and out of a starter motor?

Voltage flow into a starter motor, never out of it. Use the voltmeter to measure the voltage at the starter motor before starting to crank and then whilst it is cranking. (Before cranking, the voltage appears across the starter motor relay only.)

Why we used starter in motor?

There has to be device or a mechanism to start and stop a motor. hence a starter is needed. There are many different ways to start a motor. Considering AC Motor - It could be DOL, Star-Delta starters, which are age old and conventional. Star Delta starter starter is for higher rating motors, example over 7.5 kw, depending upon type of load. There are more advanced starters like Soft starters and Drives also.
