This paper presents a nonconventional method for fast starting of three phase wound rotor induction motors. This is achieved through shunting the stator and rotor windings across the supply for a predetermined short period. By this connection, the motor produces an extremely high starting torque. The feasibility of this basic idea has been confirmed through investigating the starting transients corresponding to this mode of operation. For this purpose, a rigorous state space mathematical model has been developed and simulated. The validity of the proposed method and the findings from the mathematical model have been confirmed experimentally.
