Which construction reduces the size and weight of a modern starter?

  • A.A series field
  • B.A higher operating voltage, which allows the current to be reduced and therefore the conductors to be made smaller
  • C.Permanent magnet fields with an epicyclic reduction gear
  • D.A larger armature, which develops the torque required directly and therefore removes the need for any gearing

Answer: C

Permanent magnets replace the field coils and a reduction gear lets a small fast motor produce the torque needed. The result is around half the weight of an older starter. Higher voltage genuinely is used on commercial vehicles for the same reason. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
