Definition of "three-point starter" |
a manual DC motor starter in which a handle is pulled to start the motor. The motion of the handle causes a contact tomove across a variable resistance in the armature circuit to limit the starting current. When the handle is moved to its fullest extent, the resistance is out of the armature circuit and an electromagnet holds the handle in place. With a three-point starter, the electromagnet is in series with the shunt field and loss of the field will shut down the motor. The disadvantage is that if it is desired to weaken the field for speed control, the motor starter may drop out. Also, the three-point starter cannot be used on a series DC motor. |
