Motor Starters

Explain various types of motor starters and their respective applications

3 phase AC motors are commonly used in industries.

Motors of smaller capacity are generally connected directly for start / stop, called Direct On Line (DOL).

For larger motors, using DOL will lead to large inrush current, which will impact the system and lead to reduced performance of the motor itself.

Solutions to mitigate it includes: Star Delta Starter, Soft Starter, Variable Frequency Drive.
