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

Answer Posted / alokbahukhandi

this is due to the reason that a huge amount of energy is required to magnetise the motor to overcome the inertia of the system at standstill position. so that a sufficient amount of starting torque id developed.
