  • A starter is an electrical device that controls the electrical power for starting a motor. These electrical devices are also used for the purpose of stopping, reversing, and protecting electric motors.
  • The starter needs a heavy electric current, which it draws through thick wires from the battery.
  • These wires are put inside the flexible conduits.
  • Flexible conduits are used for connection from the starter to the motor as it is to be taken over the foundation bed on which the motor is placed.
  • The length of the flexible conduits used for the connection between the terminal boxes of the motor and the starter should not be more than 1.25 m.
  • When the conduit is to be run on the floor, it is generally installed 0.25 m to 0.5 m below the floor.
