A direct on line starter is used: for starting motors___________?
Correct answer: A. up to 5 H.P
- A. up to 5 H.P
- B. up to 10 H.P
- C. up to 15 H.P
- D. up to 20 H.P
Explanation
A direct-on-line starter applies the full supply voltage at starting, causing a high inrush current, so it is generally used for small motors up to about 5 H.P. Larger motors usually require reduced-voltage starting.
