MOTOR STARTING REACTORS

AREAS OF USAGE

Motor starting reactors are used for starting large 3 phase motors while limiting inrush currents. Large motors generally use 6 times more current than their nominal current. Normally, they are started with 70 % of voltage and the rest of the voltage, that is normally about 30 %, is dropped across the motor starting reactor. After 15 - 20 seconds, the reactor is switched off by contactors in the system.
