Get Your Motor Running

A Guide to Reduced Voltage Starting

Motor starting is often misunderstood, which can impact performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. To help address this, we’ve developed a series of technical whitepapers that introduce the fundamentals of motor starting in a clear and practical way.

Based on the work of electronics design expert Mark Empson, co-founder of AuCom Electronics, this series provides a strong foundation for understanding key concepts and applications.

Reduced Voltage Starting is the first paper in the Get Your Motor Running series, covering the core principles of reduced voltage starting for three phase AC induction motors.
