Get Your Motor Running!
The starting function of motors is often misunderstood, impacting motor performance and compromising energy efficiency.
We’ve developed a series of technical white papers to provide a detailed introduction to the theory of starting motors, based on the work of electronics design expert Mark Empson, co-founder of AuCom Electronics.
An Introduction to Start Torque
The second white paper in the series - An Introduction to Start Torque - discusses the two major components of start torque and their impact on different motor starting applications.
Other papers in the series include:
- An introduction to reduced voltage starting
- Methods of motor starting
- An overview of solid state soft starters
- Variable frequency control
