It depends on the motor. You need to look at the specifications of the particular motor. In general, if there are only three conductors, not counting earth, then it is delta; if there are four, then it is star; if there are six, then it is star-delta and you need a star-delta starter.
You have to have a set of switches, with each set of switches setup in parallel from Supply to Ground. The switches will be connected as follows: Supply=> switch1=> node A => switch1 => Ground. Given a 3 phase motor, you will have 2 sets of switches in parallel:

|____|___ _|______|
gnd
(ignore the periods, I was having formatting issues)
a, b, and c are all connected to some sort of load, and are connected in a delta configuration:
a____z2_____b
|.................. __|
z1........ _z3_|
|_____|
c
By selectively turning on and off switches, you will create a loop, so for switches 1,2 on, you will have V=> z1 (z2+z3)=>gnd. Basically current will flow from the source, through z1 (the load between a&c)which will appear to be in parallel with z2 and z3.
You can do the same for 2,3 on; 3,4 on; 4,5 on; 5,6 on; and 6,1 on. These will create a wave form. You could also choose to have 3 switches on at a time and go from there.
ive seen 2 speed motors with six wires
they are fixed voltage one winding 1 2 3 is 2 pole 1800 rpm
the other 4 5 6 is 3 pole for 1200 rpm
480/240 volt delta is usually 12 wire
480/240 y is usually 9 wire
look for a nameplate
A star delta starter is one complete unit with all of the interlocks built in. The three phase supply is connected to the top terminals and the six wires from the motor connect to the appropriate terminals on the starter. All that has to be connected into the circuit is the timer that tells the starter when to drop the star starter coil and energize the delta starter coil to change from the start star connection to the run delta connection.
to identify beginning and ends of windings on star delta motor
no the motor to start is connected star converted delta connection
If we were not connect motor in delata & run on DOL above 10HP that time Two condition happen
1) Stress on contactor
2) Voltage drop
if the load is relatively lo inertia then no problem
The starter on a peugeot 106 is located at the back of the engine block on the right side. Very difficult to locate from above, since it is below the intake/airfilter equipment. From below it is easier. Take of the right front wheel and jack the car up or go underneath in a pit. There you will find the starter and one may see the electrcal connections to it. It is fastened with two bolts underneath (at the rear side of the starter and one on top going through the transmission block. On the diesel you need to remove the exhaust heat shield, and it will help to remove the exhaust front pipe - what a pain!
When motor is started it has low speed which does not produce back emf hence very large current is drawn by the motor which may destroy the coil inside.small motors gain speed very quickly they produce back emf very fast at start hence they do not require starter.
A starter is an electric engine, pneumatic engine, pressure driven engine, an inward burning motor if there should arise an occurrence of substantial motors or other gadget utilized for turning an inside ignition motor in order to start the motor's operation under its own energy.
A direct on line starter, often abbreviated DOL starter, is a widely-used starting method of electric motors. The term is used in electrical engineering and associated with electric motors. There are many types of motor starters, the simplest of which is the DOL starter. A motor starter is an electrical/electronic circuit composed of electro-mechanical and electronic devices which are employed to start and stop an electric motor. Regardless of the motor type (AC or DC), the types of starters differ depending on the method of starting the motor. A DOL starter connects the motor terminals directly to the power supply. Hence, the motor is subjected to the full voltage of the power supply. Consequently, high starting current flows through the motor. This type of starting is suitable for small motors below 5 hp (3.75 kW). Reduced-voltage starters are employed with motors above 5 hp. Although DOL motor starters are available for motors less than 150 kW on 400 V and for motors less than 1 MW on 6.6 kV. Supply reliability and reserve power generation dictates the use of reduced voltage or not. A very well-known motor starter is the DOL Starter of a 3-Phase Squirrel-Cage Motor. This starter is sometimes used to start water pumps, compressors, fans and conveyor belts. With a 400V, 50 Hz, 3-phase supply, the power circuit connects the motor to 400V. Consequently, the starting current may reach 3-8 times the normal current. The control circuit is typically run at 24V with the aid of a 400V/24V transformer
Disconnect battery, starter is located somewhere by where engine meets transmission. Remove all electric connections then remove bolts securing starter. Install new starter, attach electric connections, connect battery and your done.
Dirty or loose connections or a bad starter.
Dead battery, loose battery connections, bad engine ground connections, bad starter connections, bad starter, broken ring gear, bad ignition switch
Battery condition/charging system, Dirty/loose battery connections, Dirty/loose connections at the starter, Worn out starter solenoid, Worn out brushes in starter motor, Worn out starter drive gear/flywheel assembly, Faulty or out of adjustment neutral safety switch, Faulty starter relay,
Look for loose connections at the battery, starter solenoid, starter and switch. If all connections are good, the starter solenoid probably needs to be replaced.
Proper battery connections could be at fault, how old is your battery? Check for loose and corroded terminals on your battery and starter connections. Also the starter might just be bad.

It could be a bad starter relay, faulty wire(s)/switch(s) and/or dirty connections. I would check the starter relay and connections first. If everything else checks out, it just might be the starter itself.
You wired it up wrong, or the new starter was defective.
Flat battery, neutral safety switch, starter realy poor battery connections.
The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.
A number of things could be wrong in this instance. The battery could have just enough power to drive the solenoid responsible for engaging the starter, or (if the battery is known to be good) the starter itself could be going bad. The starter is nothing more than an extremely powerful electric motor designed to turn the crankshaft of the engine. Like all electric motors, it has coils of wires to generate an electromagnetic field. If one of these coils is bad, it will prevent the motor from generating a stable field, and prevent the starter from turning. That clicking sound is the voltage and current from the battery is being interrupted by a bad battery voltage or poor connections of the cables. Cables and connections are suspect number 1. Most problems are connections not tight. 2. Thousands buy new batteries unnecessarily because the dealer could have just tightened the connections. 3. The dealer did before his new battery went out of his store.
