Why starter is necessary to start the AC motor?

1 Answer

Answer :

a. At the time of starting motor starting current is high (4 to 5 times). Therefore if motor is directly started the supply voltage may be disturb. b. By the help of starters starting and stopping of motors can be made easily as we required. Because starters provides overload tripping difficulties. c. The help of starters can protect motor against the single phasing by the action of overload arrangements. d. Protect the motor from no-voltage and its difficulties. e. Permits automatic control when required.
