Why a starter is used for a motor?

Answer Posted / saurabh shekhar

When a dc motor is initially energized,there is no back emf
because the rotor is not rotating.initially the motor draws
higher current than the normal full load current and so this
high current can damage the commutator,the winding or the
power supply equipment.Therefore,a starter is needed with
current limiting resistor or a series of resistor until the
motor gets up to the rated speed.
