You will now determine the maximum starting torque developed bymotor and its starting current.a. Disconnect the wattmeter from your circuit and change the rangeof the ammeter from 8 to 25A.b. Set the dynamometer control knob to its full cw position (formaximum loading).c. Close the power supply switch. Rapidly, but steadily increase thesupply variac to 120 volts and measure the developed torque onthe dynamometer scale and the starting current. Open the powersupply switch as soon as possible.Starting Torque = ____________ lb.inStarting Current = ____________ AacB. CAPACITOR START MOTOR1.
