Which type of starter is used for 5 hp induction motor?
Answer
If the motor is below 5 hp, then a **Direct On-Line (DOL) starter** is used.
A DOL starter is the simplest type of motor starter and is used for small motors¹.
It directly connects the motor terminals to the power supply without any intermediate device such as a contactor or relay.
