The measure of a motor's ability to generate torque when just beginning to turn is called starting torque.
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of a motor's ability to generate torque to move a load when the motor is just beginning to turn is called starting torque. Starting torque is the torque produced by the motor to overcome the inertia and friction in the system and start the rotation. It is typically higher than the running torque, which is the torque required to maintain a steady rotation at a constant speed.
Starting torque depends on various factors such as motor design, voltage, and load conditions. For example, a motor with a high pole count or a higher voltage supply may have a higher starting torque.
