why the AC or DC motor takes high starting current?

Answer Posted / harshid agrawal

because at the starts dc motor do not have the back emf and due to that applied voltage is not oppose by back emf and winding have small amount of resistance so according to ohm's law current increse to 50-60% of it's rated current.
and in case of ac motor as the at the start there is no any rotation of the rotor wrt stator winding and the emf induced in the rotor winding depens upon the flux link with it and it's relative speed as the we apply full rated voltage at first it cause max flux link with rotor as it remain stationary and max emf induce in rotor winding as rotor winding is short circuited in induction motor it cause high flow of current in rotor .
that's bot ac and dc takes high current @ starts

We are preparing another project which involves Waste heat recovery from a 1 MW GE Engine. The Engine in particular gives out flue gas at 487Deg C with a flow rate of 5650 kg/hour and this can be cooled to 180 Deg C. This gives a thermal output of ~ 594 KW that is available for input to VAM via heat exchanger / boiler. Additionally 581 KW will be available from engine jacket water (temperature profile 80/ 80 Deg C and a flow rate of 50m3/hr) Our estimation is that 300 TR of cooling is possible with a suitable VAM machine(s). Please advise what is the most suitable arrangement with maximum TR and min Capital expenditure. plz reply me as early as possible

True or false question. 1.The fuse provide phase and neutral 2.power loss in electrical circuit can take place in (resistance or inductance or capacitance). 3.two phase system each phase has separated by a phase difference of (90 or 180 or 270 or 45). 4.3 phase balanced star connected load neutral current shall be (line current or phase current or zero or unity)
