Welcome to Module 21, which is about Reduced Voltage Starters. Reduced voltage starters are devices that start motors by reducing the power supplied at start-up. Reducing the power in turn reduces potentially damaging electrical and mechanical shocks on the system.
Figure 1. Reduced Voltage Starter Like the other modules in this series, this one presents small, manageable sections of new material followed by a series of questions about that material. Study the material carefully then answer the questions without referring back to what you’ve just read. You are the best judge of how well you grasp the material. Review material as often as you think necessary. The most important thing is establishing a solid foundation to build on as you move from topic to topic and module to module. A Note on Font Styles Key points are in bold. Glossary items are italicized and underlined the first time they appear.
