Why the Motor takes High Current in Starting time?

Answer Posted / ashli

when a motor rotates a back emf(E) is induced in the
armature which will oppose the supply voltage(V).. E is
proportional to the speed ie at zero speed there ll be no
back emf.. the current thro' the armature is (V-E)/R; where
R is the armature winding resistance(small value). at the
instant of starting speed is zero and so the value of E.
thus the current = V/R becomes very high.. once it attain
speed E is generated and current falls down

3 shows a 415 V, 3-phase generator supplying a 3-phase 415/110 V transformer. Draw the individual and combined impedance diagrams to a base of 10 kVA. Determine the system fault kVA and the fault currents at the 415 V and 110 V busbars for short circuit faults on the transformer input or output terminals. Work in p.u. values of impedances.

at work we have a 3 phase motor but on testing one phase isnt getting a reading. it runs 24 hours a day all week. stops and starts well no noise or heating. the phase isnt down to earth.is it just a bad meter reading or not? phases one and three came up with a resistance reading of 0.4 but phase 2 couldnt get anything shows up as open circuit.
