time is prolonged by high WR* and high load torques. In general, driven machines starting more than 4 to 6 times per hour may require special motors and control.
ALTERNATING CURRENT MOTORS
Alternating current motors are divided into two main classifications: polyphase and single phase (see Table 3), according to the type of power supply. They are. further subdivided by type of motor winding.
When polyphase power is available it is usually found more economical to apply polyphase motors in preference to single phase motors. A typical 5 hp, 1200 rpm capacitor start-induction run single phase motor, for in stance, will cost approximately twice as much as the corresponding three phase Design B squirrel-cage motor. In addition, the polyphase motor has the advantage of higher efficiency.

`The locked-rotor current of three-phjuie, 60-cycle, constanLepeed, induction motors, measured with fated-voltage and frequency impressed and with rotor locked, shall not exceed the tabulated values.
c current at other voltages shall be inversely proportional to the voltage, for 1 hp or less the value is given per hp.
Polyphase Motors
The three types of polyphase motors are: squirrel-cage induction motors, wound rotor induction motors, and synchronous motors.
Squirrel-cage motors are specific by NEMA standards providing a variety of speed and torque characteristics. Design A motors provide normal starting torque at starting current in excess of Design B motors, and are suitable for constant speed application to equipment such as fans ""blowers. Design B motors provide normal starting torque with of EMA starting current values shown in Table 4, which are acceptable by many power companies for full voltage starting. They are used for the same ype of application as Design A. Design C motors provide high starting tr9ue with starting current same as Design B, and are used on compressors started without unloaders, and on reciprocating pumps. Design D motors nave high slip* and are used with flywheels for widely pulsating loads on equipment such as reciprocating compressors and pumps where other motors would draw high peak currents. Design F Motors have low start-
g current and low torques. They are used on power systems of limited pacity. Careful application must be made since the low breakdown
condv prov'^es only limited safety margin for overload or low voltage ditaons. A drop in voltage, for instance, could cause the motor to stall.
