The calculation will change daily. You will have to check with the website to find out the current calculations for your needs.
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.
Star voltage is 1 / 1.732, or 0.577 delta voltage. (1.732 is the square root of 3.) It follows, then, that star current is 0.577 delta current.Not asked, but answered for completeness, star power is 0.5772, or 0.3333 delta power. This is why large motors use a star-delta start sequence - to minimize startup thermal stress.
A star-delta motor should be supplied star-delta.Wye is simply another name for star. Star-delta motors use a star or wye configuration to start, and a delta configuration to run. This reduces the voltage on the windings during the high current starting time.

Motors with star delta starter, starts with star mode, avoiding inrush of current for a relatively higher starting load, as the speed picks up, it goes to Delta mode with full phase voltage applied across the winding and continues to cater to the designed load.
star delta motors start as a Y for 3 phase so the windings that normally see 480 volts see 277V a relay switches to delta then it runs as a normal delta motor the reduces the starting current by about 60% for 3 phase
To calculate the current on a delta to star transformer, first identify the line current in the delta configuration (I_line). The phase current in the star (wye) configuration (I_phase) can be calculated using the formula: I_phase = I_line / √3. This relationship arises because the line current in a delta system is √3 times the phase current in a star system. Therefore, knowing the line current allows you to easily find the phase current in the star configuration.
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).
The standard thermal overload setting for star-delta controlled motors typically ranges between 1.1 to 1.4 times the motor's full load current (FLC) during the delta operation phase. In star connection, the motor draws reduced current, so overload settings may need to be adjusted accordingly. Proper selection is crucial to protect the motor from overheating while allowing for normal inrush currents during startup. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific applications.
What is the continuous current of 10HP star delta motor
Star Delta starters are used for AC motors with higher rating (generally more than 11 KW) and with high initial torque load.
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.
