When an electric motor is started, the current drawn during the run up time will exceed the normal full load current of the motor. The starting current can be up to 8 times the full load current, depending on the type of starter used and the motor.
Guidelines are given later in this report as to the magnitude of these starting currents.
This is only a synopsis. For more information - please contact atnmarketing@aberdare.co.za
