Deck 27: Part Winding Starters

Question 1

In part winding starting, neither of the two windings is individually capable of withstanding the starting current for more than a few seconds.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

Delta connected dual voltage motors are acceptable for part winding starting.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Part winding starters provide closed transition starting.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

Motors designed to be used for part winding starting contain two separate stator windings. What are they?

Question 5

Part winding starting is typically used for motors that supply the moving force for centrifugal pumps, fans, and blowers.

Question 6

The method of starting in which only half the motor winding is used during starting is called ____________________ starting.

Question 7

With part winding starting, the first winding will ____________________ rapidly if the second windings is not connected within a very short period of time.

Question 8

Figure 27-2
In the accompanying figure, why are both overload relays connected in series?

Question 9

When dual voltage motors are used, the motor must be operated on the high voltage setting of the motor.

Question 10

Each winding in motors designed for part winding starting is individually protected by ____________________ overload heaters.

Question 11

What happens if the second winding is not connected to the power line within a short period of time?

Question 12

The thermal capacity of the stator windings greatly limits the length of starting time for a part winding motor. How can you help overcome this problem?

Question 13

One advantage of part winding starters is that they provide ____________________ starting because the motor is never disconnected from the power line during the starting time.

Question 14

To help prevent damaging the first winding, some circuits contain a timer that disconnects power to the motor if the second winding is not energized within a predetermined time. This timer is often called a(n) ____________________.

Question 15

The thermal capacity of the stator windings greatly limits the length of starting time for a part winding motor. How do you overcome this problem?
