Large-capacity motors, such as those
used in electric hoists, require specialized
starting methods to avoid strain on the
power grid and motor longevity issues.
Direct starting is often impractical due
to high starting currents that stress both
the motor and power supply infrastructure.
Hence, motors above 7.5 kW, including
vehicle-mounted dust control fog cannon
fans, typically employ reduced voltage
starting methods.

Reduced voltage starting options include star-delta and
frequency conversion methods, as well as soft start
technologies. Star-delta starting is the most cost-
effective but requires specific motor configurations—a
delta-connected motor is necessary, which can handle
high kilowatt loads, while star-connected configurations
are not suitable for initial startup.
