Chapter 18, Problem 1PA

An AC electric motor is connected to a 240-V, 60-Hz source. A clamp-on ammeter with a peak hold function reveals that the motor has an inrush current of 34 A when the motor is first started. Your job is to reduce the inrush current to a value of 20 A by connecting a resistor in series with the motor. The resistor will be shunted out of the circuit after the motor is started. Using an ohmmeter, you find that the motor has a wire resistance of 3 Ω . How much resistance should be connected in series with the motor to reduce the starting current to 20 A?
