In star, the phase voltage across a motor winding is 1/sqrt(3) of what it will be in delta (or 58%). This reduces the initial power of the motor to 58% of its' rated power, but it also decreases the starting current significantly (for a soft start). The application of this is whenever this is a desirable or acceptable feature. In most, the motor is first started, then load is put on it after it is switched to delta.
The three common types of starters used in a three phase circuit are DOL (Direct-On-Line) starter, star-delta starter, and soft starter. DOL starters provide full voltage to the motor upon start, which can cause high inrush current. Star-delta starters initially start the motor in a star configuration to reduce current, then switch to delta for full speed. Soft starters gradually ramp up the voltage to the motor to reduce inrush current and mechanical stress on the motor.
If the application is high starting torque, then go for star delta or soft starters. If not DOL will do.
Star Delta starters are used for AC motors with higher rating (generally more than 11 KW) and with high initial torque load.
DOL, Star Delta, Soft starter, VFD
In manual star delta starter, the change over from star to delta does not happen automatically. The operator or user puts on the starter, and after few seconds he pushes a lever or handle to change over to Delta. In automatic method, change over happens from star to delta using an automatic preset timer.

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.
There has to be device or a mechanism to start and stop a motor. hence a starter is needed. There are many different ways to start a motor. Considering AC Motor - It could be DOL, Star-Delta starters, which are age old and conventional. Star Delta starter starter is for higher rating motors, example over 7.5 kw, depending upon type of load. There are more advanced starters like Soft starters and Drives also.

In motor starters, this is usually done using contactors. Explanation of this can easily be done using a circuit diagram. There are three contactors, the main, star and delta contactors-all these contactors can be the same type. There are many ways of wiring a star delta but here I will only give a generalized answer. First, the main contactor and star contactors are energised thus the motor runs in star. After about 5 seconds, the timer which gets energized at the same time as the main and star contactors, switches its CONTACTS i.e the normally open closes and the normally close opens. This dienergize the star contactor and energized the delta contactor. Thus, the motor now runs in delta.
The Delta Star was created in 1983.
