Starting current is the current drawn by an electric motor when it is first started. Typically, a motor's locked rotor current (LRC) will be around 6 x Full Load Current (FLC), but levels above 9 x FLC are not uncommon. However. . Determine the available power (spinning reserve) from the generator (s) in use. This current is typically much higher than the motor's normal operating current.
