Methods of starting squirrel cage induction
motors
• Direct online starting
• Stator resistance starting
• Auto transformer starting
• Star delta starting
Direct on line
starting
• The motor is started by directly
connecting to 3 –phase supply
• The starting current of the
motor will be very high (4 to
10 times the full load current.
• This method is suitable for
small machines (up to 7.5 Kw)
Relation between starting and full load torques
2∗𝜋∗𝑁
Rotor input = =kT

Rotor Cu loss=s*Rotor input
We can derive that
𝑇𝑠𝑡 𝐼𝑠𝑐
= ( )2 ∗ 𝑠𝑓
𝑇𝑓 𝐼𝑓
𝑇𝑠𝑡 2 𝐼𝑠𝑐 2
= 𝐾( ) * 𝑠𝑓
𝑇𝑓 𝐼𝑓
• The current taken by the auto transformer from the supply is
I1=K*I2=K2*Isc
