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.

How many contactors are used in a star-delta starter?
3 contactors are used: one for the main incoming service lines, one to make the star connection and one for the delta connection. Auxiliary to the contactors, a delay timer, adjustable from 500-1000 seconds, is used to shift from star to delta configuration.
What is the difference between a Y - delta starter and a star - delta starter?
No difference. Y is used as a symbol to indicate the star connection.
What are the different types of starter?
DOL, Star Delta, Soft starter, VFD
How is the star and delta timer connector protected?
As are most current carrying components in a control panel, they are protected from grounding out by having insulation wrapped around them.
How do you change star to delta?
In motor starters, this is usually done using contactors. Explanation of this can easily be done using a circuit diagram. There are three contactors, the main, star and delta contactors-all these contactors can be the same type. There are many ways of wiring a star delta but here I will only give a generalized answer. First, the main contactor and star contactors are energised thus the motor runs in star. After about 5 seconds, the timer which gets energized at the same time as the main and star contactors, switches its CONTACTS i.e the normally open closes and the normally close opens. This dienergize the star contactor and energized the delta contactor. Thus, the motor now runs in delta.
Why timer can be used in star delta starter?
delay timer
When star-delta starter timer will disconnnect?
its is very simple whem motor shifted on delta then timer will disconnect
What is a manual star-delta starter?
In manual star delta starter, the change over from star to delta does not happen automatically. The operator or user puts on the starter, and after few seconds he pushes a lever or handle to change over to Delta. In automatic method, change over happens from star to delta using an automatic preset timer.
What is a Manual starter?
In manual star delta starter, the change over from star to delta does not happen automatically. The operator or user puts on the starter, and after few seconds he pushes a lever or handle to change over to Delta. In automatic method, change over happens from star to delta using an automatic preset timer.
Why star delta timer required for motor?
The timer is used to give the motor time to reach its running speed at the star voltage. Once the timer times out the star contactor drops out and the delta contactor pulls in.
What will happen if induction motor is in star-star connected?
If a motor is connected in a star configuration it will operate at a slower speed. This is the working process that a star delta starter operates on. At first through the starter the motor starts in the star connection. When the motor gets up to its highest speed in that connection it times a timer out , the star starter drops out and the delta starter pulls in and then connects the motor in the delta connection. This allows more voltage to be applied to the motor and it then speeds up to its nameplate rated RPM.
What is the use of the rheostat in a star and delta starter?
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 many contactors are used in a star-delta starter?
3 contactors are used: one for the main incoming service lines, one to make the star connection and one for the delta connection. Auxiliary to the contactors, a delay timer, adjustable from 500-1000 seconds, is used to shift from star to delta configuration.
How do star and delta configured three phase induction motors perform differently?
Star Delta starter control wiring ensures that initially the Motor winding is connected in Star and after set timer (few seconds) the winding gets connected in Delta automatically. There three power contactors and timers to make it happen.
What is the difference between a Y - delta starter and a star - delta starter?
No difference. Y is used as a symbol to indicate the star connection.
What is the starting sequence of a star-delta starter?
This is the schematic for the starter. K1T is a timer. Initially KM1 and KM3 are closed to start the motor. Then KM2 is closed and KM1 is opened to run the motor This is the equivalent ladder logic using relays and timers.
Why is the automatic star to delta starter tripping?
The only thing that will trip the starter, is the load of the motor. Check the motor leads to make sure you have not crossed them over coming from the motor junction box. If the motor current is normal nameplate full load amps when run across the line then reduce the timing of the timer on the switch over from star to delta.
