Best Answer

The use of a star delta starting is determined by the horsepower of the motor. It is the utility company that has to be asked - What is their policy on how much horsepower will they allow for across the line starting. These days pump installations usually opt for VFD controllers. This will allow the pump to ramp up to speed and ramp down in speed to stop. Using variable frequency drives totally eliminates water hammer from harming the water system. The extra cost of the VFD's is more that offset by eliminating the expensive equipment that is used to prevent water hammer.
