High efficiency at normal operating conditions requires a low rotorresistance. On the other hand, a high rotor resistance is required to produce a
high starting torque and to keep the magnitude of the starting currentlow and the power factor high.
The wound rotor is one way of meeting the above mentioned need for
varying the rotor resistance at different operating conditions. Wound-rotor motors are, however, more expensive than squirrel-cagemotors.

Following double squirrel-cage arrangements can also be used toobtained a high value of effective resistance at starting and a low value ofthe resistance at full-load operation.
It consists of two layers of bars, both short-circuited by end rings.
The upper bars are small in cross-section and have a high resistance.
They are placed near the rotor surface so that the leakage flux sees a pathof high reluctance; consequently, they have a low leakage inductance.
The lower bars have a large cross-section, a lower resistance and a highleakage inductance.

At starting, rotor frequency is high and very little current flows throughthe lower bars; the effective resistance of the rotor is then the highresistance upper bars.
At normal low slip operation, leakage reactance are negligible, and therotor current flows largely through the low resistance lower bars; the
effective rotor resistance is equal to that of the two sets of bars in parallel.

The use of deep, narrow rotor barsproduces torque-slip characteristicssimilar to those of a double-cage rotor.
Leakage inductance of the top cross-section of the rotor bar is relatively low;
the lower sections have progressivelyhigher leakage inductance.
At starting, due to the high rotorfrequency, the current is concentratedtowards the top layers of the rotor bar.
At full-load operation, the currentdistribution becomes uniform and theeffective resistance is low.

At low slip rotor frequency is low therefore lessleakage reactance allow to conduct currentduring running
At high slips reactance are large compared to
resistance so the current is forced through thebars at surface which reactance is lowcompared to deeper bars.
These conductors closer to surface have higherresistance
A high torque at starting could be obtained

Resistors inserted into theprimary of the motor increasethe overall impedance of thecircuit and reduce the starting
current. In effect the voltagedrop across the resistors givesa reduced voltage to the motorterminals. While reducing thecurrent, we should alsoremember that the torque willalso be reduced. than for astar-delta starter

the transformer is connected instar (-KM1) and the linecontactor (-KM2) closed. Thisapplies a reduced voltage forthe initial starting of the motor.
when the motor has reached fullspeed the auto-transformer starcontactor (-KM1) is opened.This momentarily places thetransformer in-line with themotor (as an inductance), untilstep 3 is complete.
the line contractor (-KM3) isclosed putting the line voltageonto the motor and the auto-transformer isolated bycontactor (-KM2) opening.
