Q

What operational characteristic does an across-the-line starter provide?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Across-the-line (direct-on-line) starter means the motor is connected directly to the full line voltage at start • Relationship between applied voltage and starting torque in an electric motor • Difference between reduced-voltage starting methods and full-voltage starting

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a starter connects the motor directly to the supply, what happens to the voltage at the motor terminals during startup? • How does full line voltage at startup affect the motor’s torque and current draw? • Which answer choices describe effects you would expect from reduced voltage, and which from full voltage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is consistent with full line voltage applied immediately at startup • Eliminate any choices that imply reduced voltage or changing the motor’s rated speed • Confirm that the characteristic you choose is tied to starting conditions, not normal running conditions
