Why does my star delta motor run at very high amps in delta and eventually trips on overload after changing the overload protection device.It should normally run at 25amp in delta but runs at 170 amps?

THE FIRST THING IS TAKE THE READING OFF LOAD AND SEE IF THEY ARE BALANCED. HAS THE MOTOR BEEN RECENTLY REWOUND? GET A MOTOR REPAIR COMPANY TO LOOK AT THE MOTOR AND SEE IF IT HAS BEEN WOUND CORRECTLY. IF THE STAR-DELTA WORKS CORRECTLY IT SHOULD START IN STAR FOR ABOUT FIVE TO TEN SECONDS AND GO INTO DELTA THIS IS DEPENDANT ON THE STARTING CURRENT THE MANUFACTURE OF THE SWITCH AND THE APPLICATION. CHECK ALL THREE PHASES ARE BALANCED AND IF THEY ARE THE MOTOR WINDINGS MAY NOT BE CORRECTLY WOUND. SOME HAVE STAR CONNECTIONS BUILT IN.LOOKING AT THE AMPERAGE THE LOAD REQUIREMENT IS ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT YOU ARE GETTING SO IT LEAVES ONLY TWO THINGS I......MOTOR FAULT 2.....WHAT EVER THE MOTOR IS DRIVING IS PUTTING A MASSIVE PRESSURE ON THE MOTOR CAUSING IT TO OVERLOAD.

What effect can be experienced by placing a 15a fuse in a slot rated for 5a on an electrical circuit?
For a circuit that is operating normally, it will continue to operate normally. However, by replacing the correct fuse with one of a higher rating, you are removing the circuit's overcurrent protection and, in the event of a fault, the conductors and load may become damaged. Incidentally, the symbol for ampere is 'A', not 'a'.
How does a transformer protect an appliance?
Normally current transformers are used for two things . For measuring and protection. Whenever the CT is a protection CT it will be connected with the protection relays and there will be setting in the relays based on our requirement. when the current pass through the relays are more than the setting range then relay will send the tripping signal to the breaker available in the system to isolate the fault section. Finally the CT is not protecting the system. it will transfer the high primary current from the system to relay as small secondary current.
How do you remove bolt anchors from cement?
Normally you have to cut them off with a grinder. A grinder with a metal cutting blade will allow you to take them down flush with the concrete. Wear eye protection though it does throw lots of sparks and some concrete.
What is PDB in electrical engineering?
PDB could stand for power distribution board, normally a low voltage (below 1000V) board used in industrial applications. Typically contains about 20 circuit feeds, each one will have a fuse or a Miniature Circuit Breaker for overcurrent protection of the circuit it feeds. Normally fed in the UK by a 3 phase 415V supply.
What is Solkar Current Differential?
A transmission system is employed with pilot relaying schemes for protection. Pilot is a channel which transmits the information from one end of the transmission line to the other.The information is normally an electrical quantity that is measured at both the ends. The different pilots used are wire pilot, carrier-current pilot and microwave pilot. Solkar system ( reyrolle) is a scheme employing the wire pilot. It is commonly called the balanced voltage or opposed voltage scheme. It operates on the principle of current differential protection.
