When does a protostar becomes a main sequence star?

As the gases in a protostar begin to collapse, the central core begins to heat up due to pressure. As more gases are absorbed, the greater the pressure. Once the temperature of the core reaches 10 million degrees K, hydrogen fusion begins, and the star begins it's life on the main sequence. The star will stay on the main sequence whilst it still has hydrogen to fuse. Once all the hydrogen has been used, the star will drop out of the main sequence. Protostar stage in the stellar evolution. [See related question]

No. Red giants are not on the main sequence.


Does a red main sequence star have fusion?

A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.

What does it mean when a star goes off the main sequence?

When a star "goes off the main-sequence" it generally means the star has run out of hydrogen fuel and is beginning the post-main-sequence or its end of life phase. The main sequence of a star is the time where it is no longer just a proto-star but is burning hydrogen as a primary source of fuel.
