A motor primer - part 8

In recent years, much has been written about motors concerning storage, startup and operation as they relate to the American Petroleum Institute's (API) Standard 541 and the IEEE Standard 841. Most of these papers and articles assume that the reader has significant knowledge of motor theory and operation. However, this assumption is overly optimistic considering that only a few universities teach motor theory today and that application experience at motor user locations has been continually reduced over the last few years.
