Starting of Slip-Ring Induction
Motors
Slip-ring
motors are invariably started by rotor resistance starting. In this method, a
variable star-connected rheostat is connected in the rotor circuit through slip
rings and full voltage is applied to the stator winding as shown in Fig: 3.27.
(i) At starting, the handle of rheostat is set in the OFF position so that maximum resistance is placed in each phase of the rotor circuit. This reduces the starting current and at the same time starting torque is increased.
(ii)
As the motor picks up speed, the handle of rheostat
is gradually moved in clockwise direction and cuts out the external resistance
in each phase of the rotor circuit. When the motor attains normal speed, the
change-over switch is in the ON position and the whole external resistance is
cut out from the rotor circuit.
