for protection from initial currents and short circuit,overload currents

Further Explanation

When a motor is stationary, the only opposition to current flow is the resistance of its windings. When the motor starts to turn, it generates a back emf. So, on starting, the current is high, and it reduces in value as the machine runs up to speed. With larger motors the starting current could overheat and damage the windings, so it is necessary to restrict the value of the starting current using a 'starter'.

What is Reduced Voltage starters?

Reduced voltage starters are devices used to start electrical motors by applying a lower voltage to the motor during startup, which reduces inrush current and mechanical stress. This gradual increase in voltage helps prevent damage to the motor and connected equipment, extending their lifespan. Common types of reduced voltage starters include autotransformer starters, star-delta starters, and soft starters. These systems are particularly useful in applications where high starting torque is not required, and energy efficiency is a priority.


What are the different types of soft starters for large motors please explain?

Soft starters for large motors can be categorized into three main types: resistive, inductive, and electronic soft starters. Resistive soft starters use resistors to limit the initial current, providing smooth acceleration but generating heat. Inductive soft starters employ autotransformers or reactors to reduce voltage during startup, allowing for a gradual increase in motor speed. Electronic soft starters utilize solid-state devices to control voltage and current, offering precise control and advanced features like overload protection and monitoring capabilities.

How can a disc sander be dangerous?

Well for starters you could spin it up to speed and then put your tongue on it, that would show you one possibility.


How can you move the ring gear on a flywheel?

It's one piece but they have different diameters if it doesn't match up with your starter you may be able to get a starter to match with is easier to change. Example 350 400 Chevy takes different starters and flywheels although they make starters that will fit both depending on which holes you use to mount starter to block.
