How many amps are needed to start a sedan?
1 Answers
Typically, the battery output current can reach 200-600 amps when starting a gasoline engine, and up to 1000 amps for a diesel engine. Relevant information about starting current is as follows: 1. Introduction: The starting current of a motor refers to the line current input when the motor is connected to the rated voltage and starts from zero speed. The starting current of a motor is generally 5 to 7 times its rated current. If the starting current of a motor is too large, it can have a significant impact on electrical equipment and the power grid. 2. Adverse effects: If the motor is heavily loaded and cannot reach the rated speed within a short time; or if the voltage is low and the motor cannot reach the rated speed for a long time; as well as if the motor is started multiple times in succession, or if the motor is frequently reversed, it may cause the motor windings to overheat, and in severe cases, the motor windings may burn out due to overheating.
