A three-point or four-point starter for a dc motor works by

  • A.reversing the armature connections at the instant of starting
  • B.inserting resistance and removing it as the machine speeds up
  • C.reducing the field current until the machine has reached its full speed
  • D.switching the supply on and off rapidly until the speed has risen

Answer: B

Correct answer: inserting resistance and removing it as the machine speeds up

The starter puts resistance in series with the armature to limit the initial current, and the operator or an automatic relay cuts it out step by step as the machine accelerates and its back emf grows. The three-point starter also carries a no-volt release and an overload trip; the four-point starter separates the no-volt coil from the field circuit so that field weakening does not trip the starter. Both are superseded in modern drives by converter control of the armature voltage.
