To answer the question the voltage of the motor is needed as the wires size is calculated from the FLA of the motor.
power p= 1.73*v*I*cos(phy)
(1)find = I ?
(2)assume resistivity of cu, lengh of wire
(3)assume voltage regulation % is (10%)
(4)V.R.(10%)=(vs-vr)/vr
(5)find vs from above
(6)find voltage drop=vs-vr
(7)vol.drop =IR=(----from above-----(kw))
(8)find resi from abv
(9)resi R= (rho*length)/c/s area
(10)find AREA.....................ANS
Motor run delta connection because in delta connection it is less ampere needed and it sometimes it change the wye connection because of the available suply
A forward reverse star delta is a two in one motor starter where a motor first runs on star connection and then changed to delta connection after a time which has been set. The motor direction can be changed, whether forward or reverse
To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
If a motor is connected in a star configuration it will operate at a slower speed. This is the working process that a star delta starter operates on. At first through the starter the motor starts in the star connection. When the motor gets up to its highest speed in that connection it times a timer out , the star starter drops out and the delta starter pulls in and then connects the motor in the delta connection. This allows more voltage to be applied to the motor and it then speeds up to its nameplate rated RPM.

This type of motor starting is used to reduce the inrush current to a lower level. Once the motor is operating at the lower level of run current it changes to a delta connection which allows the motor to operate at its full load amperage rating.

In a large power motor the starting current is too high if connected 'direct on line'. If you start a motor on 'star' connection it uses less current to get it going before the 'delta' connection takes over.
Star and delta connection
If a motor is connected in a star configuration it will operate at a slower speed. This is the working process that a star delta starter operates on. At first through the starter the motor starts in the star connection. When the motor gets up to its highest speed in that connection it times a timer out , the star starter drops out and the delta starter pulls in and then connects the motor in the delta connection. This allows more voltage to be applied to the motor and it then speeds up to its nameplate rated RPM.
when starting a 3 phase induction motor,first start with star connection,because reduced current is being applied and after start change it to delta connection then. full line current is applied to the motor.

first calculate the full load amps of the motor by using formula, line amps = KW * 1000 / (line volts*1.732*P.F) Of the mentioned motor the amps will be 96 amps at the P.F 0.8. The motor will have star delta starter so the cable size would be 2 runs of 3c x 70 sq mm AL if laid in air.
The inrush current is reduced. This is the reason for star delta starters. Motor starts on star and after about 10 to 15 seconds, depending on the load of the motor, it switches to a delta configuration to run.
