Progress on Development of IEEE-ASAE Rural Motor Starting Application Guide

Integral horsepower motors from 1 to 30 hp are becoming more common on fanns for large feeding, crop drying, and irrigation systems [1]. Multiple-motor loads of 20 to 65 hp or more are being operated on single-phase power [2], [3]. As large motor loads on rural systems become more numerous, the problems associated with their use need more attention.
