Motor Circuit Voltage Drop

Voltage Drop in Motor Circuits

Motor circuits require special consideration for voltage drop due to high starting currents and continuous operation.

Key Considerations

  • • Starting current can be 6-8 times full load current
  • • Excessive voltage drop reduces motor torque
  • • Motors may fail to start if voltage is too low
