Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 37–1. Assume that timer TR is set for a delay of 10 seconds. When the Start button is pressed, the motor starts in low speed. After a delay of 30 seconds, the motor is still in its lowest speed and has not accelerated to normal speed. Which of the following could not cause this condition? a. The Start button is shorted. b. Timer coil TR is open. c. Contactor coil R is open. d. Timed contact TR did not close after a delay of 10 seconds.

you are working as a plant electrician. you are told that a large DC motor was returned from the rewind shop and was installed on the previous shift. the motor seemed to operate properly until load was added, the motor then stopped, reversed direction, and began to run at a high speed. what is the probable cause of the trouble, and what would you do to correct the problem?
A 460VAC rated, 60 Hz, 125-Hp Three-phase induction type motor is to be connected for across-the-line starting. The nameplate indicates the motor’s maximum ampere rating, 160A. It has a NEMA code letter B. The ambient temp of the installation place is and TW copper will be used. Short-circuit protection device that will be used is Inverse Time Breaker. Calculate the Motor Starter Size.
