For the same amount of power, a star or delta connection will use the same line current. However a delta connection supplies sqrt(3) times less current to the device on each of its connections because the voltage is sqrt(3) times more.

The apparent contradiction comes about because in a delta connection each connection to the line is shared between two connections to the device (Historikeren 20-07-2015).

What cause battery positive terminal to melt?

There are two related causes for any connection to melt. The resistance of the connection was high causing excess heat OR The Power draw was to high for the connection. In your case either the connection was dirty or there was short further down the wire.


What is the starter current draw?

Starter current draw refers to the amount of electrical current that an automotive starter motor consumes when it is activated to crank the engine. This current can vary widely, typically ranging from 100 to 300 amps for most vehicles, depending on the engine size and starter design. The high current draw is necessary to overcome the engine's inertia and initiate combustion. Prolonged or excessive current draw may indicate issues with the starter or battery.

Why would the blower motor on your 2000 Cherokee operate intermittantly and sometimes not at all no matter what the speed is set at?

A loose connection at the motor and/or bad ground at the blower motor. If it is getting current then the motor may have a bad spot/ high amp draw and need to be replaced.

What is the reason of when electric drill draw high current?

When an electric drill draws high current, it is typically due to increased resistance in the drill bit or the material being drilled. This resistance causes the motor to work harder to maintain the desired speed, resulting in higher current draw. It can also be caused by a dull or inappropriate drill bit, which requires more power to penetrate the material.


Can a worn contactor on a condensor fan motor cause a high amp draw?

Yes, a worn contactor on a condenser fan motor can lead to a high amp draw. If the contactor's contacts are pitted or damaged, they may not create a proper connection, causing the motor to work harder to start and run. This increased resistance can result in higher current draw, potentially leading to overheating and further damage to the motor or electrical components. It's important to replace worn contactors to ensure efficient operation and prevent damage.
