Best Answer

because IM draws 4 to 5 times the rated current when it is connected to the supply directly

in order to start the IM smoothly we need starters

1.star delta starter

2.auto transformer starter

DOL starter for direct starting for smaller capacity IM (upto 1HP)

Note:IM means Induction motor

Reverse direction of singlr phase ac induction motor?

The direction of a singular phase induction ac motor can be reversed by switching the capacitor in relation with the motor windings. When started in the reverse direction, the motor will maintain the same torque level that it had in the forward direction.

Star delta starter for 3 phase induction motor?

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.


What does the Induction motor do that Nikola Tesla invented?

The induction motor is an alternating current motor that Nikola Tesla invented. It generates motion by inducing a current in a rotor when coupled with an alternating current power source. This design allows for a simpler and more efficient electrical motor compared to direct current motors.
