One of our factories needs to start an old slip ring motor. I suggested that they use a common "resistor selector" system to start the motor then use a clutch for jogging. They say that using a clutch system makes the test system expensive for their budget.
As they are using a bigger motor (145kw motor for 80kw max application), They want to know whether they can try to start the motor without the starting resistors for the test and jogging? Should they use bigger cables and contactors? What limitations will they have (Number of the turn on/off)?
