9.4 SLIP RING STARTER 9.4.1 DESCRIPTION
The slip ring starter is a secondary resistance starter used with wound rotor motors. When the start
button is pressed, the S coil is picked up and seals itself in. The motor is now starting at a reduced
current with the secondary resistors in circuit. Timing relay TR is also picked up and closes after a
set time period, shorting out the resistors in the motor windings. Pressing the stop button drops out
the S and R contactors and the motor stops.
