There is really no advantage, the only purpose of having the variety is for motor manufacturer companies to be able to sell their product to customers if the building's electrical service is of a Delta of Wye configuration.

Yes. Look at the Name plate on the motor, there must be information on how the motor can be connected, delta or wye, and the respective voltage that can be applied for each connection type.

How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed?

Star and delta connection


In a star-delta starter what could be the problem if the motor does not rotate in star but rotates in delta?

One of the three phase contacts in the star contactor could be burned open or just open not allowing the motor to start because of a single phase condition. The time interval between star and delta connections could be small enough that the motor heaters will not catch the single phase condition and trip. When the motor goes into delta (which is now across the line starting) all of the three phase contacts in the contactor close and the motor starts.

Why three phase motor has the better performance when compare to single phase motor?

If you are asking what is the advantage of a motor wound for a Y or Delta configuration over a motor wound for a single phase configuration, then the advantage of the Y or Delta motor is more efficient operation. And in a motor, or in any power application, efficiency is all important.

How can you include phase failure relay in your star delta motor starter circuit?

The star delta motor starter circuit has to have a control voltage to energize the motor magnetic contractors. A phase failure relay monitors all three phases of the incoming supply lines. The phase failure relay also has auxiliary contacts on it. There are usually two sets of "C" form contacts. The control voltage for the starter circuit must be connected across the normally open (N.O.) contacts of one of these two sets. When the phase monitor is energized these N.O. contacts close supplying the control voltage to the circuitry of the star delta starters. If there is a phase interruption, phase reversal or phase loss, the phase failure relay will de-energize and the N.O. contacts will go back to their de-energized state. If the star delta motor starter is in use at the time, its control circuitry voltage will be lost and the delta motor magnetic contactor will open. The opening of this contactor will disconnect the motor from the failed three phase supply.


Can you run a star motor in delta?

Delta motors should have more starting current than Wye (Star) motors because Delta motors have two windings to take current per phase -- they are wired Phase to Phase. Star motors have only one winding per phase -- they are wired Phase to Neutral.


Why is there no neutral point for delta?

There is no neutral in a delta connection, because that is the definition of delta, a power configuration where current flows from phase hot to phase hot. The loads are A-B, B-C, and C-A. Contrast this with star, where there is a neutral, and the loads are A-N, B-N, and C-N.


What is the phase current of a three phase 2.2kw 415v motor connected in star?

The line current would be the same if the motor were connected in delta. The current can be based on the rule of thumb which says 7 amps must be allowed for a 1-HP single-phase motor on 240 v. A 2.2 kW motor is three times as powerful, and on a three-phase supply of the same voltage (240/415) it would draw 7 amps.


How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?

To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.


Condition of three phase in which there is no need of neutral?

A delta-connected system is described as being a three-phase, three-wire, system, and doesn't have a neutral. But a balanced star (wye) connected load (e.g. a three-phase induction motor) doesn't actually require a neutral.
