Powerful ventilators, pumps, mills, grinders are actuated by a wound-rotor induction motor.
Starting current of a wound-rotor induction motor without a starting resistor may exceed itsrated current by factor of 7, which may impair the mains supply.
To provide smooth increase of starting current and the motor shaft torque, starting resistors are used. "PPTG", Ltd. develops and manufactures liquid and oil starting resistorsessential in severe applications, which are noted for low cost of service and high operational reliability.
