Because the machine is delta connected, the magnitude of the starting
line current is
Finally, the starting torque is found using Equation 17.34.
P17.25 For a line current of
the phase current is 50 A. Equivalent
circuits for the machine under starting conditions are shown in Figure
17.15. With the added resistance in series, we have the circuit
The total impedance magnitude is required to be:
However, the impedance magnitude is
Solving for the added resistance
R
, we find
Finally, the starting torque is found using Equation 15.34.
