In reality if the proper motor protection is used, no motor should burn. Even a motor that has a locked rotor will trip the heater overload protection. So the issues to be looked at that would cause a motor to burn would be, is the motor protection correctly sized? The motor must be running within the manufactures specifications and not outside the motors service factor. The supply breaker and wiring to the motor must be the correct size. The overload protection should be in mid scale of the settings. House keeping around motors is a big condition to keep a motor running within its parameters. Cooling fins and fans must be kept clean of any debris. All of this should allow a motor to run free of trouble for many years.
What else can I help you with?
Can you run a star motor in delta?
Delta motors should have more starting current than Wye (Star) motors because Delta motors have two windings to take current per phase -- they are wired Phase to Phase. Star motors have only one winding per phase -- they are wired Phase to Neutral.
How will star and delta configured three phase induction motors perform as load increases?
Motors with star delta starter, starts with star mode, avoiding inrush of current for a relatively higher starting load, as the speed picks up, it goes to Delta mode with full phase voltage applied across the winding and continues to cater to the designed load.
How do star and delta configured three phase induction motors perform differently?
Star Delta starter control wiring ensures that initially the Motor winding is connected in Star and after set timer (few seconds) the winding gets connected in Delta automatically. There three power contactors and timers to make it happen.
Why is there no neutral point for delta?
There is no neutral in a delta connection, because that is the definition of delta, a power configuration where current flows from phase hot to phase hot. The loads are A-B, B-C, and C-A. Contrast this with star, where there is a neutral, and the loads are A-N, B-N, and C-N.

What are three phase motors?
Three phase motors are motors which operate under three phase supply.Each phase is displaced from one another by 120 degrees.It produces three fluxes which are also 120 degrees displaced.

What is the use of 240 three phase delta?
240 volt delta systems were used a lot in automotive garages and small manufacturing facilities. This system works great for motor loads because of the phase to phase voltage of 240 vac, motors run better (lots of motors were manufactured to operate on 240 only) on the higher voltage compared to 208 vac. Also the availability of 120 vac on the same system was a plus, however on a delta system you have one phase with a higher voltage to ground (high leg) usually about 190 vac. You have to be careful not to use this phase in certain applications.

Why would three phase be used instead of single phase?
Three phase electricity is used instead of single phase for industrial situations. Industries use three phase electricity instead of single phase to operate electric motors driving heavy machinery. Three phase electrical motors produce more power from the same amount of electricity and maintain steadier speed. Small portable motors such as drills and mixers use single phase. Motors used around the house are single phase. Motors used to run large industrial machines use three phase.

What is the difference between an open delta and an open wye connection?
An open delta connection is a delta connection with one phase removed, but still supplied with three line conductors. An open wye is a wye connection with one phase removed, supplying a three line conductors and a neutral conductor. An open-delta/open-wye is a method of providing a reduced-load three-phase supply using just two single-phase transformers, rather than the preferred method of using three single-phase transformers.
How do you wire a three phase motor with capacitor start?
I have never come across a three phase capacitor start motor. Any three phase motors I have worked on are induction start.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of single phase and three phase?
Single phase inherently requires less equipment (it's cheaper). Three phase motors are more efficient than single phase.
