    Voltage Drop when starting large motors

    Tahnks for your input I kind of thought that the load that is on that trans bank is on the high side and starting those 300hp motors,Is definitely causing these dips. I will look into installing soft starts for these motors. In the meantime I need to install some thing to maintain the 120v to...

    Voltage Drop when starting large motors

    I amhaving a problem with my 120v power dropping to 98.5v when starting up large (300 HP across the line 480v) motor in a sawmill. The lighting trans is fed from the same 480v distribution as the 300 hp motor. Total connected on the 1500 Kva transformer bank is 3132 H.P. Fla 4055, Any suggestions?
