GGGGRRRRAAAAAAAA OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM...

That's from"Three idiots" hindi movie! 😀

When the supply is connected to the stator of a three-phase induction motor, a rotating magnetic field is produced, and the rotor starts rotating and the induction motor starts. ... At the time of starting, the motor slip is unity, and the starting current is very large.
