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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
No, you definitely cannot.
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.
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.
That is the star point contactor that opens when it goes into the delta configuration.
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.

One way is to use the auxiliary contacts on the motor contactor to close a separate source supply to drive an auxiliary relay.
