Another method of reducing the starting current of a motor is to step down the voltage to the motor winding through the auto transformer such as is called the “Auto Transformer Reduced Voltage Starter”. This method is applied to high motor with large starting current. Control Operation Figures below (A) and (B) illustrate the power and control circuit respectively of an “Auto Transformer Reduce Control Voltage Starter”. The control circuit consist of TR timers, contactors S, Y, and R. (A) Power circuit of the “Auto Transformer Reduce Voltage Starter”. Pressing the start push button will energize contactor S and timer TR. Contactor Y is also energized through normally closed contact TR (8-5). Instantaneous contact TR (1-3) will close immediately to maintain the circuit continuously energized. Contact Y (11-12) will open to ensure that contactor R will not be energized. Contact S (1-2,3-4,5-6) and Y (1-2,3-4,5-6) will close to connect the auto transformer T1, T...
