STARTING METHODS:
- Direct-on-line
- Star - delta
- Series - parallel
- Autotransformer starter
- Electronic by soft - starter
CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE POWER SUPPLY
DIRECT-ON-LINE
Ideal
Limited by the electricity supplying companies (utilities) due to voltage variation
problems in the power supply which can affect other users
Motor protection becomes more expensive
STAR - DELTA START
Used on applications having low torque loads or no load starts
The motor must have 6 wires
The starting current and starting torque are reduced from 25 to 33% of their values
Double voltage, being the second voltag times the first

CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE POWER SUPPLY
SERIES-PARALLEL START
Motor must be suitable to be reconnected to two voltages, that is, the lower
one equal to the power supply and the other one two times higher
The motor must have 9 wires
The more common rated voltage is 220/440 V
During the start, motor is connected for the series method until it reaches its rated
voltage, and then it is switched to the parallel method.

MOTOR USEFUL LIFE:
- Thermal Protectors: bimetal type, with normally closed contact, used on single-phase
motors
- Thermistors: Semiconductor material ( silicon ), the resistance varies with the heat
PTC - High resistance for high temperature
NTC - Low resistance for high temperature
