Motor Starting Analysis

This document discusses motor starting analysis. It begins by introducing the purpose and components of a motor starting analysis. Key points to conduct an analysis are outlined, such as transformer rating relative to motor size. Methods to correct excessive voltage drop during starting are provided. Relevant formulas are presented for calculations involving impedance, voltage drop, and torque. An example problem demonstrates determining utility and motor terminal voltages during starting. A second example involves a system with running load.

MOTOR STARTING ANALYSIS

A. INTRODUCTION Motor starting study should be done before purchasing power transformer and cables. In the course of the analysis, the motor starting current and method of starting will be decided. Motor terminal voltage as well as torque requirement should be analyzed at the same time. A complete motor starting analysis consists of voltage drop and acceleration calculations. In the initial study, typical motor data shall be used. These data shall be updated when vendor data are made available. B. WHEN TO CONDUCT A MOTOR STARTING ANALYSIS 1) Transformer self-cooled KVA rating is less than three times the largest motor KVA rating. 2) Motor feeder reduces the short-circuit KVA to less than eight times the motor-starting KVA. 3) Ratio of bus short-circuit KVA to motor-starting KVA is less than 8 times. 4) Voltage drop restriction imposed by the Utility (usually limited at 2%). 5) Presence of high inertia load. C. CORRECTING FOR EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE DROP 1) Use a motor with lower starting current. 2) Connect to a system with a higher short-circuit MVA. 3) Use a power transformer with lower impedance. 4) Use a reduced voltage starter or soft starter. 5) Install a capacitor bank.

VTU = 01 VTOTAL 01 X U ( 01 I ST ) = 1 1( 0.01446) = 0.9853

Voltage level at the Utility = 0.9853(13.8) = 13.597KV

VTM = 01 VTOTAL 01 I ST ( 01 X U + 01 X T ) = 1 0.01446(1 + 17.33) = 0.73128


Voltage level at the Motor Terminal = 0.73128(2.4) = 1.755KV

F. EXAMPLE NO. 2 For system with running load, the diagram is as shown below

The per unit impedance for the running load is shown in formula no. 3.
