A starter (also self starter, self, or starter motor) is an electric motor, pneumatic motor, hydraulic motor, an internal-combustion engine in case of very large engines or other device used for rotating an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.he starter motor is used for this purpose and is not required once the system starts running.
I was testing an old starter motor that I know used to work well. I connected it to a car battery with about 20-30 amp cables and the insulation just melted. There was no mechanical load on the starter. I also connected an analog amp meter to it. Just the solenoid was using 15 amps. But the whole starter motor was using somewhere near 100 amps.
