3 Point Starter Working and Construction

3 Point Starter Working and Construction of Three-Point Starter A starter is a device which helps in smooth starting and running of a dc motor(mostly dc shunt, compound motors).More technically, an electrical arrangement which limits the starting current supplied to the motor. Before going to see the working of a 3 point starter let’s see why we need a 3 point starter? We know that in a dc motor to get back emf the armature has to rotate in a magnetic field, due to generator action in the armature core back emf is…
