Answer Posted / esha
The starting current, sometimes called inrush current will be 8-10 times higher than the motor's rated current because the motor is at rest.
When at rest, the motor appears to be a transformer, with it's secondary winding short circuited, i.e. the rotor winding or squirrel cage is a closed circuit. This results in a low impedance to the system voltage and the motor has a "locked rotor" current of typically 6 times full load current, but also up to 8 and sometimes 10 times current.
This starting value is independent of any load attached, however, the inertia of the motor and load has to be overcome. This is especially true when the motor is connected to a load, like a conveyor belt with product on it. The larger the inertia, the longer the motor takes to reach full speed.
As the motor accelerates, part of the starting current power overcomes this inertia and is conveted to kinetic energy.
