Directonline dol motor starter description the direct on line motor starter dol is designed to switch a single or three phase induction motor at rated voltage.
When connecting a threephase motor to the mains supply, the. Threephase induction motors, discusses the structure, modes, selection, and sizing of motors and. Stator is made up of number of stampings in which different slots are. The main body of the induction motor comprises of two major parts as shows.
A 3phase induction motor has two main parts i stator and ii rotor. Directonline starters are the simplest type of starter. It comprises an enclosure in steel or plastic, a contactor, start contact, link wires and stop start buttons. Different types of starters for induction motor nptel. As its name indicates stator is a stationary part of induction motor. Motor starters are one of the major inventions for motor control applications.
Direct on line dol, stardelta and autotransformer starting. It is not advisable to start induction motors of higher ratings generally above 25kw directly from the mains supply. The thermal overload is supplied as a separate item. It is desired to install a 3phase cage induction motor restricting the maximum line current drawn from a 400 v 3phase supply to 120 a.
Manual motor starters, contactors and overload relays. As we know, once a supply is connected to a three phase induction motor a rotating magnetic field will be set up in the stator, this will link and cut the rotor bars. For slip ring induction motor, by providing external resistance in rotor circuit we can also limit starting current. In the case of three phase ac alternating current operation, the most widely used motor is a 3 phase induction motor, as this type of motor does not require an additional starting device. While keep in mind that star delta starter can only be used for low to medium voltage and light starting torque induction motors. Possible to print the page to a pdf file or from your printer. To facilitate a simplified overview, the four most wellknown and important motor feeders are examined in the following. The stator of an induction motor consists of 3phase windings, which when connected to a 3phase supply. Methods of starting three phase induction motors djt electrical. The rotor is separated from the stator by a small airgap which ranges from 0. Starting of 3phase induction motors starters for poly phase. A stator winding is placed in the stator of induction motor and the three phase supply is given to it. As we know the main purpose of star delta starter is to start the three phase induction motor in star connection while run in delta connection. The power rating of the motor starter is based on the type of motor used.
A dol starter connects an induction motor directly to the power source via a threephase contactor. The 3 phase set of currents, each of equal magnitude and with a phase. Starting and control of threephase asynchronous motors. Chapter 6 level 3 nvq and technical certificate electrical. The basic idea of an electric motor is to generate two magnetic fields. Ac motor starters have a singlephase power and threephase power rating. The rating of the motor starter is based on the size and type of load for which it was designed. The rotor will constantly be turning to align its magnetic field with that of the stator field. Three phase induction motor provided with the different starter like stardelta starter, autotransformer starter and dol starter etc.
