As mentioned earlier, FEM 9.682 designates the maximum starts for 60%ED to be 360 startsper hour. As seen in Figure 3, the cycle alternates between low and high speed, beginning and endingwith low speed. Therefore, the cycle consists of 4 low speed motor starts and 2 high speed motorstarts, making the ratio of low speed to high speed starts 2:1. In accordance with this ratio, theallowable starts per hour is divided into 240 allowed at low speed and 120 allowed at high speed,maintaining a total of 360 starts per hou
