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.
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.
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.
To calculate the power of a contactor when you know the current (in this case, 30 amps), you can use the formula: Power (P) = Voltage (V) × Current (I). First, determine the voltage at which the contactor operates (e.g., 120V, 240V, or 480V). Then, multiply the voltage by the current: for example, at 240V, the power would be P = 240V × 30A = 7,200 watts (or 7.2 kW).

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.
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.
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.
That is the star point contactor that opens when it goes into the delta configuration.

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.
