There is a small potentiometer fitted to the delta timer. This is the time delay between the start button being pressed and the changeover to delta operation. If the starter trips on overload when changeover occurs you need to increase the time delay See related links

How much KW range can be use star-delta starter?
The use of a star delta starter is for motor control only and not resistive heating loads. This type of starter is used to dampen the inrush current by using a lower voltage to start the motor.
What is the easiest method of reversing the direction of rotation of a 3 phase induction motor controlled by star-delta starter?
Just swap two of the phases over. <<>> Care must be taken when swapping wires on a star delta system. Reversing the wrong set in the motor box and getting the wrong wires could accidently reverse the wrong set of windings. This would cause the star magnetic to be rotating in the correct rotation and then when it switches to delta the motor tries to reverse causing a locked rotor condition and spiking the voltage very high and hopefully tripping the overload protection. The correct place to swap the two legs is at the supply side of the star contactor.
Why motor is connected in star connection first in star delta starter?
To use a star delta starter, the motor must be a three phase six wire motor. The extra wires out are the wires that are usually terminated in the motor housing as the star point. The starter, when energized, brings the star contactor in and closes the star point coil ends. An external timer times out after the motor gets up to speed in the star connection and drops the star contactor and closes the delta contactor. When in the delta connection the motor coils are then paralleled to allow the motor to run at full voltage.
Why does a star delta motor run at a very slow speed on delta after changing from star to delta?
There could be several different reasons for a motor to run slower than it should do after it has been switched over from star to delta connection.Here are some possible reasons, but there may be others:its star-delta starter unit has a fault or has some bad external connectionsa broken or disconnected phase winding (or windings) inside the motor's frame.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Why do we use star to star connection in motor?
In a high voltage installation, with the same power, current drawn is small compared to those in low voltage. However it requires a thicker insulation, thus cost of insulation is significant compared to the conductor cost. By using a star connected winding, the insulation voltage required is equal to line to neutral connection, otherwise if it is connected in delta the insulation rating has to be provided for a line to line connection. Despite having a higher current, the total cost is still lower compared to using a higher insulation rating.

Can you use star delta starter and soft starter in to same motor?
Probably. More importantly, why would you want to? The Star/Delta starting method is used to minimize motor starting current, just like a soft starter. Use one or the other. There's no good reason to use both, it will just make things more complicated.
How much KW range can be use star delta starter?
above 5 h.p t0 20 h.p 1h.p=736w
Why using on motor star delta starter?
because at the starting the induction motor drawn a heavy current thats why we use starter to increase the starting resistance of the induction motor!
How do you select overload relay for star delta starter?
according motor which we use suppose if it is 2.2kw then the range of OLR(over load relay) is 2-3.2
Why use link in star contactor?
The link in the star contactor is used to form the star point of three of the motor leads. On most star wound motors the star point is inside the motor windings. On a motor that can be used for star delta starting it is a six wire motor. The star point winding depends on the contactor to tie the coil ends together externally in the control panel of the star delta starter.
Should a star-delta motor be supplied wye or delta power?
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.
What is the current drawn in star as compared to delta?
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.
What is the advantage of a Star Delta Motor Starter?
The inrush current to the starting motor is lower due to the the motor coils being in series across the line creating a higher impeadence. When the starter connects to delta connection the motor is already turning and it does not have to go through the locked rotor phase. This system is being phased out now with the use of electronic soft starts and by-pass contactors.To start a motor direct on line (DOL) in delta requires approximately 6 to 8 times the full load current of the motor and delivers full torque. Delta places 415v across each of the windings on the motor. A Star-Delta starter starts the motor in Star which places 240v across each winding on the motor. This results in a lower starting current and also a lower starting torque.
Where is the use of earth transformer?
It is used in where the transformer are connected in star delta.
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.
