In star, a motor is connected with 415V across 2 phases, which means Line voltage is 240V (415 / 1.7ish) In delta theres 415 across each phase, therefore I = much higher according to Ohms law (I = V/R) Hypothetically; load of 24ohms connected on the motor In star; I = 240 / 24 = 10A In delta I = 415 / 24 = 17.2A Hope this helps a little
A motor draws less current in star than in delta because there is less voltage in star, less by a factor of the square root of three, or about 1.732.
If the motor terminal has six terminals in the terminal box, then it can be connected either in delta or star. If there are only 3 terminal wires then the motor can not be connected in star.(it means that the motor is designed to be connected in delta only)
Measure the current on the incoming side of the starter.
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.
Need to know what the voltage of the motor is.
yes

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.

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.
Need to know what the voltage of the motor is.
24 amps. This could be three 11.54 resistors connected in star, or three 34.6 ohm resistors connected in delta.
230/400 V These motors can be connected in star to a mains of 400 V between the phases (see figure 1). figure 1 Star connection 400/695 V These motors should be connected in delta to a mains of 400 V between the phases (see figure 2).
If a motor is connected in star, the current in the motor winding will be equivalent to the line current. If the motor is connected in delta, the current will be 1/sqrt(3) of the line current. If three phase CTs are connected in Delta, their secondary current will be sqrt(3) higher than the CT ratio implies by the line current.
Because your momma said so
hot motor are connected in star because it deals with the voltage in case small Power system, which the voltz could either drop or rise.
