Q:Whatismeantbyregenerativebraking?
A:Whenthesupplyiscutoforarunningmotor,itstillcontinuerunningduetoinertia.Inorderto
stopitquicklyweplaceaload(resitor)acrossthearmaturewindingandthemotorshouldhave
maintainedcontinuouseldsupply.sothatbacke.m.fvoltageismadetoapplyacrosstheresistor
andduetoloadthemotorstopsquickly.ThistypeofbreakingiscalledasRegenerativeBreaking.

Q:WhyisthestartingcurrenthighinaDCmotor?
A:InDCmotors,VoltageequationisV=EbIaRa(V=Terminalvoltage,Eb=BackemfinMotor,Ia=
Armaturecurrent,Ra=Aramtureresistance).Atstarting,Ebiszero.Therefore,V=IaRa,Ia=V/Ra
,whereRaisverylesslike0.01ohm.i.e,Iawillbecomeenormouslyincreased.

Q:Whataretheadvantagesofstardeltastarterwithinductionmotor?
A:(1).Themainadvantageofusingthestardeltastarterisreductionofcurrentduringthestartingof
themotor.Startingcurrentisreducedto34timesOfcurrentofDirectonlinestarting.(2).Hencethe
startingcurrentisreduced,thevoltagedropsduringthestartingofmotorinsystemsarereduced.
