Series-Impedance Starting. Impedance Z is either an Inductor or a Resistor to limit the current during start-up. Series-Impedance Starting continued. Select the resistor or inductor (reactor) to provide about 70% rated voltage. Simplest method for starting. Example 5.20.

Series-Impedance Starting ECE 441
Impedance Z is either an Inductor or a Resistor to limit the current during start-up ECE 441
Series-Impedance Starting continued • Select the resistor or inductor (reactor) to provide about 70% rated voltage. • Simplest method for starting ECE 441
Example 5.20 • A 30-hp, wye-connected, three-phase, 230-V, 60-Hz, 78-A, 1748 r/min, design B motor has a locked-rotor impedance per phase of 0.273 /69°Ω at rated temperature and frequency. The motor is to be started using series resistors in each line. Determine • a) the resistance of the resistors required to limit the locked-rotor current to three times rated current ECE 441
Example 5.20 continued • The circuit configuration is shown here ECE 441
Example 5.20 continued • Apply Ohm’s Law to one branch ECE 441
Example 5.20 continued • b) the stator voltage/phase at locked-rotor ECE 441
Example 5.20 continued • c) The expected minimum locked-rotor torque at rated when starting as a percent of rated torque. • Minimum locked-rotor torque at rated voltage and frequency is 150% rated torque (Table 5.1) ECE 441
Example 5.20 continued • Note – Calculations must be made on the actual voltage applied to the stator. ECE 441
