in a delta configuration the current is split between the phases, as opposed to a wye configuration where the current will be equal on all phases.

and vice versa for voltage.

What is the reason if you are running an electric motor with a star delta starter but whenever it is switched to delta at the same instant its circuit breaker trips?

Check your Delta connections first if the phases is corresponding, and check your Circuit Breaker if it sufficiently rated.


How does a star winding shifts to a delta winding in a three phase motor?

To shift from a star winding to a delta winding in a three-phase motor, the connections between the windings need to be rearranged. In a star winding, the ends of the windings are connected to a common point (neutral), while in a delta winding, each winding end is connected to the start of the next winding. By physically switching the connections, the motor can be reconfigured from star to delta winding.


What is multi speed motor?

Some electric motors have windings enabling them to run at different speeds.


What is the function of armature winding?

The winding function of an electric motor is a description of how the number of conductors in the windings around the motor changes with position.


How star delta helping motor from overheat?

star delta motors start as a Y for 3 phase so the windings that normally see 480 volts see 277V a relay switches to delta then it runs as a normal delta motor the reduces the starting current by about 60% for 3 phase


Should a star-delta motor be supplied wye or delta power?

A star-delta motor should be supplied star-delta.Wye is simply another name for star. Star-delta motors use a star or wye configuration to start, and a delta configuration to run. This reduces the voltage on the windings during the high current starting time.

Why is a 3 phase induction motor phased out before use?

In order to identfy the motor windings so that it may be used in both star and delta connections according to its ratting current

What are motor made from?

an electric motor is a copper winding or 3 separate windings depending on the phase, the copper winding is the centralised inside of a iron magnet, this is also how a generator is made instead of putting a current on you turn the windings to receive a voltage .
