Y delta starters are antiques but so am I
if its a single voltage motor 480 say it has six wires coming out
one pair for each pole
full voltage delta connection each pole sees the full 480V
if you start with the Y connection each pole sees 277 V
the big relays usually have both mechanical and electrical interlocks
(obviously since there are direct shorts if both are on at the same time)
there is a timing relay involved generally pneumatic
so push the start button the Y relay comes in with the timer
the timer gives all the moving parts sufficient time to get moving
then the Y relay drops off and the delta comes in sealing the start button
What else can I help you with?
What device may be wired into the starting circuit of a motor to improve the starting torque?
I assume a 3 phase, AC induction motor. A star delta starter or a soft starter can be used. A soft starter is better compared to a star delta starter, but it is more expensive.
Why are there six terminals in a three-phase induction motor?
In 3phase induction motor, stator winding splited into 3windings (Each winding conductor size, no of turns etc are equal to each other). So 3 windings have 6terminal. Generally all 6 terminals are taken out for termination on 5HP and above rated 3phase motors. So, that motor can be started with star / delta starters to reduce starting current (DOL starter does not reduce starting current). Major advantage is It is easy to change the connection (STAR / DELTA) acoording to the purpose going to be used. Also starting and ending terminal to be marked properly.
Why motor is connected in star connection first in star delta starter?
To use a star delta starter, the motor must be a three phase six wire motor. The extra wires out are the wires that are usually terminated in the motor housing as the star point. The starter, when energized, brings the star contactor in and closes the star point coil ends. An external timer times out after the motor gets up to speed in the star connection and drops the star contactor and closes the delta contactor. When in the delta connection the motor coils are then paralleled to allow the motor to run at full voltage.
What is the connection procedure of star-delta connection in 3 phase motor?
Higher capacity (higher KW rating) motors take huge starting current to get over the starting torque. To avoid the high inrush of current, star delta starter is used. When started, the motor gets connected in star for few seconds and switches over to Delta and continues to run in delta. In this case motor is designed to run in Delta.
How much KW range can be use star-delta starter?
The use of a star delta starter is for motor control only and not resistive heating loads. This type of starter is used to dampen the inrush current by using a lower voltage to start the motor.
Why using on motor star delta starter?
because at the starting the induction motor drawn a heavy current thats why we use starter to increase the starting resistance of the induction motor!
Star delta starter for 3 phase induction motor?
A star-delta starter is a method used to reduce the starting current drawn by a 3-phase induction motor. It involves initially connecting the motor windings in a star configuration for starting, and then switching to a delta configuration for running. This helps to minimize voltage drops and prevents excessive current flow during start-up.
Type of starters in three phase circuit?
The three common types of starters used in a three phase circuit are DOL (Direct-On-Line) starter, star-delta starter, and soft starter. DOL starters provide full voltage to the motor upon start, which can cause high inrush current. Star-delta starters initially start the motor in a star configuration to reduce current, then switch to delta for full speed. Soft starters gradually ramp up the voltage to the motor to reduce inrush current and mechanical stress on the motor.
Can you use star delta starter and soft starter in to same motor?
Probably. More importantly, why would you want to? The Star/Delta starting method is used to minimize motor starting current, just like a soft starter. Use one or the other. There's no good reason to use both, it will just make things more complicated.

What is the advantage of a Star Delta Motor Starter?
The inrush current to the starting motor is lower due to the the motor coils being in series across the line creating a higher impeadence. When the starter connects to delta connection the motor is already turning and it does not have to go through the locked rotor phase. This system is being phased out now with the use of electronic soft starts and by-pass contactors.To start a motor direct on line (DOL) in delta requires approximately 6 to 8 times the full load current of the motor and delivers full torque. Delta places 415v across each of the windings on the motor. A Star-Delta starter starts the motor in Star which places 240v across each winding on the motor. This results in a lower starting current and also a lower starting torque.

How do you connect motor by star delta starting?
starter is used to limit the starting current to save the motor. for star-delta first star mode is enabled so the applied voltage is reduced to safe value after the motor catches the rated speed the mode is changed to the delta mode. hence the full supply voltage is applied to the motor.

Why you make initially star-connection then delta-connection?
This type of motor starting is used to reduce the inrush current to a lower level. Once the motor is operating at the lower level of run current it changes to a delta connection which allows the motor to operate at its full load amperage rating.
