STUDY OF DC AND AC STARTERS
AIM:
To study the different kinds of D.C motor starters
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
Sl No. Name of the apparatus Quantity
1 Two Point starter 1
2 Three Point starter 1
3 Four Point starter 1
THEORY:
The value of the armature current in a D.C shunt motor is given by
Ia = ( V – Eb )/ Ra
Where V = applied voltage.
Ra = armature resistance.
E b = Back .e.m.f .
In practice the value of the armature resistance is of the order of 1 ohms and at the instant of starting the
value of the back e.m.f is zero volts. Therefore under starting conditions the value of the armature current
is very high. This high inrush current at the time of starting may damage the motor. To protect the motor
from such dangerous current the D.C motors are always started using starters.
The types of D.C motor starters are
i) Two point starters
ii) Three point starters
iii) Four point starters.
The functions of the starters are
i) It protects the motor from dangerous high speed.
ii) It protects the motor from overloads.
i) TWO POINT STARTERS:
It is used for starting D.C. series motors which has the problem of over speeding due to the loss of load
from its shaft. Here for starting the motor the control arm is moved in clock-wise direction from its OFF
position to the ON position against the spring tension. The control arm is held in the ON position by the
electromagnet E. The exciting coil of the hold-on electromagnet E is connected in series with the armature
circuit. If the motor loses its load, current decreases and hence the strength of the electromagnet also
decreases. The control arm returns to the OFF position due to the spring tension, Thus preventing the
motor from over speeding. The starter also returns to the OFF position

7
when the supply voltage decreases appreciably. L and F are the two points of the starter which are
connected with the motor terminals.
ii) THREE POINT STARTER: ( refer fig 2 )
It is used for starting the shunt or compound motor. The coil of the hold on electromagnet E is
connected in series with the shunt field coil. In the case of disconnection in the field circuit the control
arm will return to its OFF position due to spring tension. This is necessary because the shunt motor will
over speed if it loses excitation. The starter also returns to the OFF position in case of low voltage supply
or complete failure of the supply. This protection is therefore is called No Volt Release ( NVR).
Over load protection:
When the motor is over loaded it draws a heavy current. This heavy current also flows through the
exciting coil of the over load electromagnet (OLR). The electromagnet then pulls an iron piece upwar6.ds
which short circuits the coils of the NVR coil. The hold on magnet gets de-energized and therefore the
starter arm returns to the OFF position, thus protecting the motor against overload. L, A and F are the
three terminals of the three point starter.
iii) FOUR POINT STARTER:
The connection diagram of the four point starter is shown in fig 3. In a four point starter arm
touches the starting resistance, the current from the supply is divided into three paths. One through the
starting resistance and the armature, one through the field circuit, and one through the NVR coil. A
protective resistance is connected in series with the NVR coil. Since in a four point starter the NVR coil is
independent of the of the field ckt connection, the d.c motor may over speed if there is a break in the field
circuit. A D.C motor can be stopped by opening the main switch. The steps of the starting resistance are so
designed that the armature current will remain within the certain limits and will not change the torque
developed by the motor to a great extent.
STUDY OF AC STARTERS
AUTO –TRANSFORMER STARTING
An auto transformer starter consists of an auto transformer and a switch as shown in the fig. When
the switch S is put on START position, a reduced voltage is applied across the motor terminals. When the
motor picks up speed, say to 80 per cent of its moral speed, the switch is put to RUN position. Then the
auto-transformer is cut out of the circuit and full rated voltage gets applied across the motor terminals.
The circuit dia in the fig is for a manual auto-transformer starter. This can be made push button operated
automatic controlled starter so that the contacts switch over from start to run position as the motor speed
picks up to 80% of its speed. Over-load protection relay has not been shown in the figure. The switch S is
air-break type for small motors and oil break type for large motors. Auto transformer may have more than
one tapping to enable the user select any suitable starting voltage depending upon the conditions.
Series resistors or reactors can be used to cause voltage drop in them and thereby allow low voltage to be
applied across the motor terminals at starting. These are cut out of the circuit as the motor picks up speed.

8
STAR- DELTA METHOD OF STARTING:
The startor phase windings are first connected in star and full voltage is connected across its free
terminals. As the motor picks up speed, the windings are disconnected through a switch and they are
reconnected in delta across the supply terminals. The current drawn by the motor from the lines is reduced
to as compared to the current it would have drawn if connected in delta. The motor windings, first in star
and then in delta the line current drawn by the motor at starting is reduced to one third as compared to
starting current with the windings delta-connected.
In making connections for star-delta starting, care should be taken such that sequence of supply
connections to the winding terminals does not change while changing from star connection to delta
connection. Otherwise the motor will start rotating in the opposite direction, when connections are
changed from star to delta. Star-delta starters are available for manual operation using push button control.
An automatic star – delta starter used time delay relays(T.D.R) through which star to delta connections
take place automatically with some pre-fixed time delay. The delay time of the T.D.R is fixed keeping in
view the starting time of the motor.

9
FULL VOLTAGE OR DIRECT –ON-LINE STARTING (DOL STARTER)
When full voltage is connected across the stator terminals of an induction motor, large current is
drawn by the windings. This is because, at starting the induction motor behaves as a short circuited
transformer with its secondary, i.e. the rotor separated from the primary, i.e. the stator by a small air-gap.
At starting when the rotor is at standstill, emf is induced in the rotor circuit exactly similar to the
emf induced in the secondary winding of a transformer. This induced emf of the rotor will circulate a very
large current through its windings. The primary will draw very large current from the supply mains to
balance the rotor ampere-turns. To limit the stator and rotor currents at starting to a safe value, it may be
necessary to reduce the stator supply voltage to a low value. If induction motors are started direct-on-line
such a heavy starting current of short duration may not cause harm to the motor since the construction of
induction motors are rugged. Other motors and equipment connected to the supply lines will receive
reduced voltage. In industrial installations, however, if a number of large motors are started by this
method, the voltage drop will be very high and may be really objectionable for the other types of loads
connected to the system. The amount of voltage drop will not only be dependent on the size of the motor
but also on factors like the capacity of the power supply system, the size and length of the line leading to
the motors etc. Indian Electricity Rule restricts direct on line starting of 3 phase induction motors above 5
hp.

10
PRIMARY RESISTORS (Or) STATOR RESISTANCE STARTER
Their purpose is to drop some voltage and hence reduce the voltage applied across the motor
terminals. In this way, the initial current drawn by the motor is reduced. However it should be noted that
whereas current varies directly as the voltage, the torque varies as square of applied voltage. If the voltage
applied across the motor terminals is reduced by 50%, starting current is reduced by 50%, but torque is
reduced by 25% of the full voltage value. By using primary resistors the applied voltage/phase can be
reduced by a fraction ‘x’ and it additionally improves the power factor of the line slightly. Th ratio of the
starting torque to full load torque is x2
of that obtained with direct switching or across the line starting.
This method is useful for the smooth starting of small machines only.

11
Stator Resistance Starter
ROTOR RESISTANCE STARTER
The slip ring induction motors are always started with full line voltage applied across the stator terminals.
The value of starting current is adjusted by introducing a variable resistance in the rotor circuit. The
controlling resistance is in the form of a rheostat, connected in star, the resistance being gradually cut out
of the rotor circuit, as the motor gathers speed. Increasing the rotor resistance reduces the starting current
at the same time the starting torque is also increased due to improvement in power factor. The controlling
rheostat is either of stud or contactor type and may be hand operated or automatic.
Result:
Thus the dc and ac motor starters were studied.

OPEN CIRCUIT AND LOAD CHARACTERISTICS OF

THEORY
In a D.C. series generator the field winding is connected in series with the armature
winding. In this case the armature current flows through the field winding as well as the load. Since
the armature winding and the field winding are in series the armature current is the same as the
field current. The field winding has less number of turns of thick wire and hence its resistance is
low.
Ia = Ise = IL
The load characteristics of a D.C. series generator are plotted with the load current (IL) on
the X-axis and the Voltage (V) on the Y-axis. As in the case of the D.C. shunt generator there are
two types of load characteristics:
1. Internal characteristics – Induced emf E vs Load current IL. Here the drop is due to
armature reaction.
2. External characteristics – Terminal Voltage V vs Load current IL. Here the drop is due
to armature and series field resistance.
The Voltage equation of a D.C. series generator is given
by V = E – Ia (Ra + Rse)
The load characteristics are shown in the model graph. It will be noticed that a series
generator has rising voltage characteristic i.e. with increase in load, its voltage is also increased, but

48
it is seen that at high loads, the voltage starts decreasing due to excessive demagnetizing effects of
armature reaction. In fact, terminal voltage starts decreasing as load current is increased as shown
by the dotted curve and for a particular high value of load current the terminal voltage is reduced to
zero.
FORMULA:
Eg = V + Ia (Ra+Rse) (V)
Ia = IL = If (A) [Series generator]
where
Eg : Generated EMF in V
V : Terminal Voltage in V
Ia : Armature Current in A
IL : Line Current in A
If : Field Current in A
Ra : Armature Resistance in Ohm

OPEN CIRCUIT TEST
PRECAUTIONS:
1. The field rheostat of motor should be in minimum resistance position.
2. The field rheostat of generator should be in maximum resistance position.
3. No load should be connected to generator.
4. Generator field should be separately excited.
PROCEDURE:
2. After checking minimum position of motor field rheostat, maximum position of generator
field rheostat, DPST switch is closed and starting resistance is gradually removed.
3. By adjusting the motor field rheostat, the motor is brought to rated speed.
4. By varying the generator field rheostat, voltmeter and ammeter readings are taken.

50
5. After bringing the generator rheostat to maximum position, field rheostat of motor to
minimum position, DPST switch is opened.
LOAD TEST
PRECAUTIONS:
1. The field rheostat of motor should be at minimum position.
2. No load should be connected to generator at the time of starting and stopping.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are given as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. The DC supply is switched ON and the DC shunt motor (prime mover) is started using the 3-
point starter. The motor is brought to its rated speed by adjusting its field rheostat and the
same is checked with the help of a tachometer.
3. The load DPST is now closed and the loading rheostat is switched on in steps and at each step
the motor speed is maintained constant by adjusting the motor field rheostat and then the
terminal voltage (VL) and the load current (IL) are noted down.
4. The procedure is continued until the load current is equal to 120% of the rated current of the
generator. After the experiment is completed the load on the generator is gradually decreased
to minimum, bring motor field rheostat to minimum position and then the supply is switched
OFF.
5. The resistances of the armature and the series field winding of the generator are found by
giving low voltage supply and connecting a voltmeter and ammeter.
6. The external and internal characteristics of the given DC series generator are plotted.

THEORY:
Rotor Rheostat Control:
In this method, which is applicable to slip ring induction motors alone, the motor speed is
reduced by introducing an external resistance in the rotor circuit. For this purpose, the rotor
starter may be used provided it is continuously rated. This method is in fact similar to the
armature rheostat control method of d.c shunt motors.
PROCEDURE :
1. The connections are given as per the circuit diagram.
2. The A.C supply is given to the motor by closing the TPST switch.
3. Initially resistance of the rotor resistance starter is kept at maximum resistance position.
4. Now gradually reduce the resistance of the rotor resistance starter and note
down the corresponding meter readings.
