Technical data
Fig. 69: Starting torque curves, booster
Starting torque for specific compressor
Multiply the starting torque value from high-stage or booster curves at 100% of normal run speed
by starting torque multiplier for appropriate compressor size.
6.9 Motor/compressor torque
Ensure that the motor starting and minimum pull-up torque capabilities will exceed the compres-
sor requirements at the anticipated condition that will be experienced during normal starting.
Note: Star-delta and auto transformer (reduced voltage) motor starting methods drastically ef-
fect the starting torque available from motors as indicated:
Across-the-line
100% torque
Auto transformer 25-64% torque
Star-delta 33% torque
