How many types of DC motor starters?
How many types of DC motor starters? Correct Answer 3
- There are mainly 3 types of DC motor starters, such as 2 point starter, 3 point starter and 4 point starter.
- The basic concept behind every DC motor starter is adding external resistance to the armature winding during starting.
- 3 point starters and 4 point starters are used for starting dc shunt-wound motors and dc compound wound motors.
- 2 point starter is used for starting dc series motors.
- However, very small dc motors may be started directly by connecting them to the supply with the help of a contractor or a switch. It does not result in any harm because they gather speed quickly due to small rotor inertia.
- In this case, the large starting current will die down quickly because of the fast rise in the back emf.
