This type of motor starting configuration is used to start large motors. The utility company's policy is to only let a certain three phase motor horsepower loads across the line starting. High horsepower loads draw high current which draws the line voltage down. This causes a small instantaneous brown out to which the utility company gets complaints about. To solve this problem, limit the horsepower load. Starting a delta motor in star configuration reduces the inrush current because the voltage applied to the motor is lower. This technology is rapidly becoming old due to the new type of motor controllers on the market. Replacing the star delta starters is soft start controllers. The inrush current can be controlled so as to not make any voltage drop on the line. These controllers are different from VFD's which are expensive for this type of application. The main function of the soft start is to get the motor on line without any line disturbances.
