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.

What is the star point of a CT?

The term, 'star point', refers to the common point of connection for the three windings of a star-connected (wye-connected) transformer connection. The star point is usually earthed (grounded) and provides the neutral point of the connection.


Why phase current is equal to line current in star connection?

Because it is the same current, as you can determine by examining a circuit diagram of a star connection.


What are the advantages of using symbols in circuit diagram?

The advantages are the same as using symbols in writing to represent the words.


Why star connection used in transmission?

Transmission circuits are prone to earth faults.Only star connection permits flow of earth fault current and the operation of earth fault relays.


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.
