Why is it that for motors we have methods of reduced voltage starting? If i am not mistaken this is done to reduce the amount of current needed to bring the rotor up to speed. Less Voltage -> Less current. Higher Voltage--> more current (V=IR) This makes sense to me. Yet we also have methods of Low Voltage Release (LVR) and Low Voltage Protection (LVP) to protect the Motor during a low voltage condition because for the motor to produce the same amount of power, a lower voltage will cause the motor to draw more current (P= VI). This seems contradictory to me. So which is it for an electric motor, less voltage-->less current or less voltage --> More current???
