🔍 Key Concepts

• Across-the-line starter meaning in motor control • Difference between full-voltage and reduced-voltage starting • How starting method affects starting current and starting torque

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to current and torque when a motor is connected directly to the power supply with no extra resistors, reactors, or transformers. • Ask yourself: is an across-the-line starter usually used to limit current, or does it give the motor the full supply instantly? • Consider which motor size/type typically tolerates the sudden inrush current from being connected directly to the line.

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify whether across-the-line means any added starting resistance or impedance is used (yes/no). • Match the method: if the motor is connected directly to supply, does that produce reduced current or maximum available current and torque? • Confirm whether this method is more appropriate for small motors with acceptable inrush or large motors where current must be limited.
