Why the starting current in Induction Motor is very high as
compared to normal rated current ????

Answer Posted / desingurajan

The emf induced in the rotor depends upon the rotor frequency which further depends on relative speed between rotor and synchronous speed of rotating magnetic field. The relative speed at the time of starting or standstill is maximum and hence large emf in induced in rotor conductors or winding due to which very high current flows in rotor which is generally 5 to 7 times of the full load or running current of an indication motor.

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.

following are the questions asked in interviews: 1) Considering the short circuit fault, which switchgear is preferable, SFU OR MCCB? Which operates faster? whicg one is popular in Indian Market and why? 2)Define SCPD. What is type2 coodination? 3)Why the contactor rating is higher for the fuseless selection than for fuse selection? whether the ratinf of SFU or MCCB remains the same in both the cases? 4)If the HP rating is known then can you calculate the ratings of L.V Switchgear(SFU/MCCB, contactor, OLR) without using the selection chart?
