At site, we have 30Kw motor (3 phase, 400V,50Hz) and FLC
54A as per the nameplate. At the time of starting it draws
840A instead of 390A (7.2%). As per the data sheet also its
390A starting current. it thru a dol starter from the MCC.
can anyone tell what is the problem in the motor

Answer Posted / ranjan prasad

From the question motor terminal connection is not known.
However this problem may arise if you will connect the
motor in delta instead of star. First check the terminal
connection of motor, if it is in star, connect in the same
manner.
