Motor Starting Studies

A motor starting study analyzes the motor, the motor load and the connected power system throughout the entire range of operation. The purpose of a motor starting study is to:

• Determine if a motor can accelerate its designed load
• Calculate the terminal current and voltage as the motor accelerates
• Calculate motor acceleration time
• Make recommendation on motor starting methods and options

NEMA MG-1 requires a motor to start and accelerate the driven load within + 10% of rated voltage applied to the machine terminals.
