Resistance Starting Flashcards
1
Q
Operation
A
For wound rotor motors only.
External resistors are connected to the rotor circuit during startup to limit current and increase torque. The resistance is gradually reduced as the motor accelerates.
2
Q
Advantages
A
High starting torque with limited current.
3
Q
Disadvantages
A
Requires additional components (resistors and slip rings).
4
Q
Applications
A
Cranes, hoists, and applications requiring high torque at low speeds.
