Because locked rotors withstand time of motor is less than starting time of motor under reduced voltage conditions.
Stage 1 = 350% 6 sec for starting at rated voltage
(Because starting time = 6 sec + hot stall time = 7 sec)
Stage 2 = 175% 15 sec to permit 14 seconds starting time under reduced voltage condition
(Since starting current is less, stage 1 will not operate)
