A "star-delta" starter- also known as a "Y-delta" or "wye-delta" starter - is used to reduce the voltage on the motor windings to only 1/.'/'3 [one divided by root 3] times the incoming line voltage, to help reduce mechanical stress and in-rush current at start-up.
More detail
Whenever you start a big heavy electric motor, you need to start it slowly to prevent the rotor overheating and drawing an enormous current. When the windings of a 3-phase motor are connected in STAR the voltage is reduced to a fraction equal to one over root three (1 / 1.732) times the normal running voltage that is used when it is connected in DELTA, resulting in a reduction of nearly one half the normal current.
Once the motor picks up speed, the connection is changed to DELTA so that the motor runs at full speed and torque from then on. It's a bit like using the gears of an automobile.

Why starter used in DC motors?
starter is used in dc motor to reduce the initial starting torque...so that the dc machine could be protected from damage.... ..and to avoid max ..current flowing ..from it it can damage whole ..moter structure
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in fluorescent lamps?
No, a switch is used to control the circuit voltage that is applied to the fixture for turning the fixture on and off. The starter in the fluorescent fixture is used to start the current flowing through the filaments in the fixture's tubes. After a specific time, the starter heats up the circuit is opened and the current then flows through the fluorescent tubes.
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a tube light?
No. Starter comes in the circuit initially and then cuts off once the tube is on. If you use the switch, it wont be cut off automatically. If you want to use the switch manually then it technically possible to do so

Why DOL starter is used in industries in-spite it has disadvantages?
DOL starters are used in industries in-spite of its disadvantages because it is the simplest form of a motor starter. A DOL starter consists of a MCCB or circuit breaker, contactor, and an overload relay that is used for protection.

Where to find starter Pokémon by using poke rada?
The Poke Radar cannot be used to capture starter Pokemon. In general, the only way to get starter Pokemon is through picking your starter at the beginning of the game.
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp?
No, a single pole switch cannot replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp. The starter is required to initiate the flow of current through the tube, which a switch alone cannot accomplish. The switch is used for turning the lamp on and off once the starter has activated the lamp.
Can brake cleaner be used as starter fluid for engines?
No, brake cleaner should not be used as starter fluid for engines. Brake cleaner is not designed for this purpose and can be dangerous if used incorrectly. It is important to use the appropriate starter fluid for engines to ensure safe and effective operation.
Where is the starter switch on a 2001 Daewoo leganza?
the starter solenoid is incorporated with the starter. you'll find two wires going to the starter. one is the control wire which actuates the contactor (starter solenoid) for the high amp circuit that drives the starter motor. and then there is the switch in the steering column that is used with the key.
