Why is the starting torque of a wound -rotor motor higher per ampere of starting current than that of a squirrel cage motor?
The starting torque of a wound-rotor motor is higher per ampere of starting current than that of a squirrel cage motor due to the ability to control the rotor resistance. In a wound-rotor motor, external resistance can be added to the rotor circuit, allowing for increased torque production during startup without drawing excessive current. In contrast, squirrel cage motors have a fixed rotor resistance, which limits their starting torque and results in a relatively lower torque per ampere of starting current. This design feature enables wound-rotor motors to provide better performance in high-torque applications.

Disadvantages of a squirrel cage 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
What is impact ampere in 50Hz motor connected to 60Hz?
What effect will be there on the motor (Induction) output power when a 100kW 50hz motor is connected to a 60hz power supply.
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.
In a light circuit with a constant voltage what is the effect on the current if the light bulb is doubled?
If you add one extra bulb and the voltage remains constant, then you have doubled the current drained from the regulator. 12 Volt and One 12 Watt lightbulb drains 1 Ampere Current. 12 Volt and Two 12 Watt light bulbs drains 2 Ampere Current. However: If having a 24 volt powersource and you add two 12 Volt 12 Watt in serial, then you still only drain 1 Ampere Current. NOTE: Wattage and Voltage of bulbs may be different even if the sockets are the same. Lower voltage on the bulb will increase the current drain, if voltage is a lot lower it might cause the circuit delivering voltage to burn out or blow a fuse. It can also quickly burn the bulb, sometimes in a fraction of a second. It will however do little damage to add a bulb with higher voltage than the circuit is designed for. You will then only observe that you do not get the light you might hope for. Total Current/Ampere= Combined Wattage divided by Voltage Total Wattage = Combined Current or Ampere multiplied by Voltage. Regards.

What do you call the flow of current?
Electron flow, or just current. The more electrons flowing per second, the higher the current.
Is electric current is measured in amperes?
Amperes or amps measures the electrical current. Think of it as a flow of water through a hose to simplify.
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.

What is the difference between 900mAh and 3000mAh batteries?
The current relates to the flow of electric charge in an object. Basically the Ampere hour is a measure of how 'long' it will last for. So a higher amount will result in a longer lasting battery because it 'contains' more current.
How much current will draw 75000W 400volt at the starting?
At a steady state (when up and running) Watts = Volts x Amps so you just need to solve the equation 75,000 / 400 = ? However, you add the caveat "starting". If your application involves a motor, for example, the starting current will be higher than the steady state current. One rule of thumb says the starting current may be as high as 6 times the running current. This higher current starts high and then decreases as the motor comes up to speed.
Is using an adaptor that supply higher ampere rating than what is needed by the CCTV camera damage the device?
The camera will draw the amount of current it needs to function. As long as the voltage is within the rating of the camera you are okay.

What is kilo ampere interrupting capacity?
Kilo ampere interrupting capacity (KAIC) refers to the maximum amount of electrical current in kiloamperes that a circuit breaker or fuse can safely interrupt without sustaining damage. It is a key rating to ensure the safety of electrical systems by preventing excessive current from causing equipment failures or electrical fires. The higher the KAIC rating, the better the protection provided by the circuit protection device.
