The link in the star contactor is used to form the star point of three of the motor leads. On most star wound motors the star point is inside the motor windings. On a motor that can be used for star delta starting it is a six wire motor. The star point winding depends on the contactor to tie the coil ends together externally in the control panel of the star delta starter.

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.
Can you replace a 50 amp contactor with a 40 amp contactor?
Replacing a 50 amp contactor with a 40 amp contactor is not advisable, as the 40 amp contactor may not be able to handle the load safely. This could lead to overheating, failure of the contactor, or potential damage to the connected equipment. It's essential to match the contactor's rating to the load requirements for safe and reliable operation. Always consult with a qualified electrician for such replacements.
Definition of coil in contactor?
The coil in a "Contactor" is essentially an electromagnetic coil that provides the driving force to close the contacts in a Contactor. When the "Coil" is energized by a lower control voltage usually from some type of controller such as a PLC, the Normally-Open contactor will close or in the oposite case, the Normally-Closed contactor will open.
How do electro pneumatic contactors work?
A contactor is an electrically controlled switch (relay) used for switching a power circuit. an electro pneumatic contactor is similar to the above except it uses a pneumatic signal to initiate the switching of the electric power circuit. an electro magnetic contactor is a contactor driven by an electric control signal. It us usually just called a contactor.
What causes an electrical contactor to make a buzzing noise when activated and what should be done about it?
Contactor chatter can be caused by a broken shading ring winding on the pole face of the contactor. Low voltage to the coil can be another reason for contactor chatter. A constant hum on a contactor will be caused by misalignment to the two pole faces. Check for rust building up on the two surfaces.
How do you calculate contactor capacity of star contactor?
metres
What usually cause the star contactor to burn on a star delta starter?
A lot of designers will fit an under rated star contactor, partly for cost saving purposes and partly down to the fact that the star contactor will only stay energised for a brief period. Burning out the star contactor could be down to it staying in circuit too long, not changing over to delta, a timer malfunction holding in the star contactor or switch that is defective in the control circuit. Another cause could be your motor is drawing excess current.
Iwant to know how to wire control circuit ao star delter star?
To wire a star-delta control circuit, you typically need a contactor for the star configuration (Y), a contactor for the delta configuration (Δ), and a timer or relay to switch between them. The motor is connected to the star contactor initially, and once the motor reaches a certain speed, the timer activates the delta contactor, disconnecting the star contactor. Ensure to include overload protection and proper control buttons for starting and stopping the motor. Always follow electrical safety standards and consult wiring diagrams specific to your motor and control system.
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.
Can you use an AC contactor in the place of DC contactor?
No, you definitely cannot.
How does magnetic contactor operate?
explain me about the contactor works with examples. if i want to control a motor with contactor. and how i can use contactor in loops with over load and circuit breakers.
Star delta motor what are the links across the terminal for?
That is the star point contactor that opens when it goes into the delta configuration.
Does a star delta timer rely on the breaking of the retaining contacts on the star contactor side?
The N.C. (timed open) contacts in the star delta timer energize the star contactor's coil when the system is energized. At the same instant the system is energized, the timer starts to time down the required time which lets the motor get up to speed in the star configuration. When the timer reaches the set point time, a second set of N.O. (timed closed) contacts close the delta contactor's coil and open the N.C. timed contacts of star contactor's coil. The motor now runs in the delta configuration. When the system is de energized the timer contact's reset to its de energized state.
Why 3 phase supply do not short on star contactor of star delta starter?
In a star-delta starter, the star contactor connects the motor windings in a star configuration during the initial start-up phase. This configuration reduces the voltage and current, allowing for a softer start and minimizing inrush current. If a short circuit were to occur on the star contactor, it could lead to a direct connection of the supply to the motor windings, potentially causing overheating and damage to the motor. Therefore, protective measures such as overload relays and proper circuit design are essential to prevent such occurrences.
What size contactor required for 110kw 415v star delta start motor?
240 or 415
Where we use star topology?
It is use to offical computer and link of the computer.
Are contactor points and bimetallic strip connected to the star delta starter of 3 phase induction motor?
yes
