EXPERIMENT 4

STUDY OF DIRECT ONLINE STARTER


AIM
To study the direct online starter for starting three phase induction motor.

APPARATUS REQUIRED
Sl No: Name of Equipment Specification Quantity

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

THEORY
DOL Starter (Direct Online Starter) is also known as “across the line starter”. DOL starter is a
device consists of main contactor, protective devices and overload relay which is used for motor
starting operations. It is used for low rating usually below 5HP motors. In direct online starter
method of motor starting, the motor stator windings is directly connected to the main supply
where the DOL protect the motor circuit from high inrush current which may damage the
overall circuit as the initial current is much more higher than the full rated current.
A DOL or Direct Online starter has simply two buttons; Green and Red, where the green button
is used for starting and the red is used for stopping the motor. The green button connects the
terminals and closes the circuit while the red button disconnects the terminals and breaks the
circuit. The DOL starter is made of a circuit breaker or MCCB or fuse, an overload relay and
contactor or coil. The circuit breaker is used for protection against short circuits while the
overload relay protects the motor from overloading. The contactor is used for starting and
stopping the motor where the green and red buttons are connected.

PROCEDURE
 The working principle of a DOL starter begins with the connection to the 3-phase main
with the motor.
 The control circuit is connected to any two phases and energized from them only.
 Press the start button, so the current flows through contactor coil (magnetizing coil) and
control circuit.
 The current energizes the contactor coil and leads to close the contacts, and hence 3-phase
supply becomes available to the motor.
 Press the stop button, so the current through the contact becomes discontinued, hence
supply to the motor will not be available, and the similar thing will happen when the
overload relay operates. Since the supply of motor breaks, the machine will come to rest.
