THEORY :
The value of the armature current in a D.C shunt motor is given by
Ia = ( V Eb )/ Ra
Where V = applied voltage.
Ra = armature resistance.
E b = Back .e.m.f .
In practice the value of the armature resistance is of the order of 1 ohms and at the instant of starting the value of the
back e.m.f is zero volts. Therefore under starting conditions the value of the armature current is very high. This high
inrush current at the time of starting may damage the motor. To protect the motor from such dangerous current the
D.C motors are always started using starters.
Page 76 of 94
Page 77 of 94
Page 78 of 94
The connection diagram of the four point starter is shown in fig 3. In a four point starter arm touches the
starting resistance, the current from the supply is divided into three paths. One through the starting resistance and the
armature, one through the field circuit, and one through the NVR coil. A protective resistance is connected in series
with the NVR coil. Since in a four point starter the NVR coil is independent of the of the field ckt connection , the d.c
motor may over speed if there is a break in the field circuit. A D.C motor can be stopped by opening the main switch.
The steps of the starting resistance are so designed that the armature current will remain within the certain limits and
will not change the torque developed by the motor to a great extent.

The primary and secondary windings of a transformer can be connected in different configuration as shown to
meet practically any requirement. In the case of three phase transformer windings, three forms of connection
are possible: star (wye), delta (mesh) and interconnected-star (zig-zag).
The combinations of the three windings may be with the primary delta-connected and the secondary starconnected, or star-delta, star-star or delta-delta, depending on the transformers use. When transformers are used
to provide three or more phases they are generally referred to as a Polyphase Transformer.
Page 81 of 94
Symbols are generally used on a three phase transformer to indicate the type or types of connections used with
upper case Y for star connected, D for delta connected and Z for interconnected star primary windings, with
lower case y, d and z for their respective secondaries. Then, Star-Star would be labelled Yy, Delta-Delta would
be labelled Dd and interconnected star to interconnected star would be Zz for the same types of connected
transformers.

We now know that there are four ways in which three single-phase transformers may be connected together
between primary and secondary three-phase circuits. The configurations are delta-delta, star-star, star-delta,
and delta-star. Transformers for high voltage operation with the star connections has the advantage of reducing
the voltage on an individual transformer, reducing the number of turns required and an increase in the size of
the conductors, making the coil windings easier and cheaper to insulate than delta transformers.
The delta-delta connection nevertheless has one big advantage over the star-delta configuration, in that if one
transformer of a group of three should become faulty or disabled, the two remaining ones will continue to
deliver three-phase power with a capacity equal to approximately two thirds of the original output from the
transformer unit.
Page 82 of 94
In a delta connected ( Dd ) group of transformers, the line voltage, V L is equal to the supply voltage, VL = VS.
But the current in each phase winding is given as: 1/3 IL of the line current, where IL is the line current.
One disadvantage of delta connected three phase transformers is that each transformer must be wound for the
full-line voltage, (in our example above 100V) and for 57.7 per cent, line current. The greater number of turns
in the winding, together with the insulation between turns, necessitate a larger and more expensive coil than the
star connection. Another disadvantage with delta connected three phase transformers is that there is no
neutral or common connection.
In the star-star arrangement ( Yy ), (wye-wye), each transformer has one terminal connected to a common
junction, or neutral point with the three remaining ends of the primary windings connected to the three-phase
mains supply. The number of turns in a transformer winding for star connection is 57.7 per cent, of that
required for delta connection.
The star connection requires the use of three transformers, and if any one transformer becomes fault or
disabled, the whole group might become disabled. Nevertheless, the star connected three phase transformer is
especially convenient and economical in electrical power distributing systems, in that a fourth wire may be
connected as a neutral point, ( n ) of the three star connected secondaries as shown.
.
Page 83 of 94
The voltage between any line of the three-phase transformer is called the line voltage, V L, while the voltage
between any line and the neutral point of a star connected transformer is called the phase voltage, V P. This
phase voltage between the neutral point and any one of the line connections is 1/3 VL of the line voltage.
Then above, the primary side phase voltage, VP is given as.

An auto transformer starter consists of an auto transformer and a switch as shown in the fig. When the switch S
is put on START position, a reduced voltage is applied across the motor terminals. When the motor picks up speed, say
to 80 per cent of its mornal speed, the switch is put to RUN position. Then the auto-transformer is cut out of the circuit
and full rated voltage gets applied across the motor terminals.
(Ref. To text book for fig)
The circuit dia in the fig is for a manual auto-transformer starter. This can be made push button operated automatic
controlled starter so that the contacts switch over from start to run position as the motor speed picks up to 80% of its
speed. Over-load protection relay has not been shown in the figure. The switch S is air-break type for small motors and
oil break type for large motors. Auto transformer may have more than one tapping to enable the user select any
suitable starting voltage depending upon the conditions.
Series resistors or reactors can be used to cause voltage drop in them and thereby allow low voltage to be applied
across the motor terminals at starting. These are cut out of the circuit as the motor picks up speed.
The startor phase windings are first connected in star and full voltage is connected across its free terminals. As the
motor picks up speed, the windings are disconnected through a switch and they are reconnected in delta across the
supply terminals. The current drawn by the motor from the lines is reduced to as compared to the current it would
have drawn if connected in delta.The motor windings, first in star and then in delta the line current drawn by the motor
at starting is reduced to one third as compared to starting current with the windings delta-connected.
In making connections for star-delta starting, care should be taken such that sequence of supply connections to the
winding terminals does not change while changing from star connection to delta connection. Otherwise the motor will
start rotating in the opposite direction, when connections are changed from star to delta. Star-delta starters are
available for manual operation using push button control. An automatic star delta starter used time delay
relays(T.D.R) through which star to delta connections take place automatically with some pre-fixed time delay. The
delay time of the T.D.R is fixed keeping in view the starting time of the motor.

When full voltage is connected across the stator terminals of an induction motor, large current is drawn by the
windings. This is because, at starting the induction motor behaves as a short circuited transformer with its secondary,
i.e. the rotor separated from the primary, i.e. the stator by a small air-gap.
At starting when the rotor is at standstill, emf is induced in the rotor circuit exactly similar to the emf induced in
the secondary winding of a transformer. This induced emf of the rotor will circulate a very large current through its
windings. The primary will draw very large current from the supply mains to balance the rotor ampere-turns. To limit
the stator and rotor currents at starting to a safe value, it may be necessary to reduce the stator supply voltage to a low
value. If induction motors are started direct-on-line such a heavy starting current of short duration may not cause harm
to the motor since the construction of induction motors are rugged. Other motors and equipment connected to the
supply lines will receive reduced voltage. In industrial installations, however, if a number of large motors are started by
this method, the voltage drop will be very high and may be really objectionable for the other types of loads connected
to the system. The amount of voltage drop will not only be dependent on the size of the motor but also on factors like
the capacity of the power supply system, the size and length of the line leading to the motors etc. Indian Electricity Rule
restricts direct on line starting of 3 phase induction motors above 5 hp.

Keeping the generator side DPST open, the field rheostat in the generator side is
adjusted for the rated voltage of the generator which is seen in the voltmeter.
Now the DPST switch is closed and the resistive load is put up on the generator step

Note that while taking each set of readings, the field current is maintained constant
