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).

∙ 11y agoIt is the design of the said motor. Star motor has to be connected in star and delta motor has to be connected in Delta formation. Motor will burn out or not work otherwise. Some high rated motor needs to be started using start delta starter to reduce the inrush of huge current in the starting, but runs in Delta formation after few seconds of running in star mode.

What is the star delta working principle?
when starting a 3 phase induction motor,first start with star connection,because reduced current is being applied and after start change it to delta connection then. full line current is applied to the motor.
What are the advantages of using star connection?
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.
Is universal motor type of inductin motor?
No,look at the connection diagram for Universal motor. The Field and the armature windings are connected in series. But, in induction motor, the rotor end terminals are sorted by a kind of rings.That is rotor is apart from the supply.
What is a timer in a star delta starter?
A timer in star delta starter for a three phase motor is an electronic device designed to do the change over or transition from star connection - using which the motor suns on a reduced voltage and current and produces less torque - to the delta connection necessary for running the motor at its full power, using high voltage and current to produce a high torque. The timing interval that is set is dependent how long the motor needs to start up from standstill to normal speed. Some motors require 15 seconds for the initial startup in star connection and after that given value of time the timer signals to the star contactor to go to the open position and the main delta contactor to go to the closed position, thus forming the delta circuit.
What is the connection of normal wire star or delta?
normally delta connection wired in 3 phase induction motor. during starting wiring is in Star and after running normal speed changeover to delta .beacause starting time its phase voltage equals less root3 times of line voltage ,line current and phase current equals. in Delta phase voltage and line voltage equals, and phase current equals root3 times line current
What is the reason motor runs delta connection?
Motor run delta connection because in delta connection it is less ampere needed and it sometimes it change the wye connection because of the available suply
What is a forward-reverse star delta?
A forward reverse star delta is a two in one motor starter where a motor first runs on star connection and then changed to delta connection after a time which has been set. The motor direction can be changed, whether forward or reverse
How can a dlta connected motor be converted in star?
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)
Why you make initially star-connection then delta-connection?
This type of motor starting is used to reduce the inrush current to a lower level. Once the motor is operating at the lower level of run current it changes to a delta connection which allows the motor to operate at its full load amperage rating.
How can you terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection?
To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
Why use star delta gether for motor?
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.
How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed?
Star and delta connection
What will happen if induction motor is in star-star connected?
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.
How do connect a wye connection for 12 leads out motor?
Normally there are six terminals (two terminals per winding in 3 phase system) for a motor. If you find 12 terminals, you need to read the motor name details or specifications to get more info. The motor could be with two different sets of winding (double speed motor)
What is the star delta working principle?
when starting a 3 phase induction motor,first start with star connection,because reduced current is being applied and after start change it to delta connection then. full line current is applied to the motor.
Why are there six terminals in a three-phase induction motor?
In 3phase induction motor, stator winding splited into 3windings (Each winding conductor size, no of turns etc are equal to each other). So 3 windings have 6terminal. Generally all 6 terminals are taken out for termination on 5HP and above rated 3phase motors. So, that motor can be started with star / delta starters to reduce starting current (DOL starter does not reduce starting current). Major advantage is It is easy to change the connection (STAR / DELTA) acoording to the purpose going to be used. Also starting and ending terminal to be marked properly.
