delay timer
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.
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.
please you give me reply to answer.
The size of the contactors are dependant upon what the voltage the motor is operating on.
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.
The timer is used to give the motor time to reach its running speed at the star voltage. Once the timer times out the star contactor drops out and the delta contactor pulls in.
No difference. Y is used as a symbol to indicate the star connection.

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.

voltage drop is be a problem.
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.
A star-delta starter is a common method for reducing the starting current of three-phase induction motors. It temporarily connects the motor in a star (Y) configuration during startup, then switches to a delta (Δ) configuration for normal operation. The switching between these configurations is achieved using contactors. Typically, a star-delta starter uses three contactors: Main Contactor (Line Contactor) – This connects the motor to the power supply. It remains energized during both star and delta operations, ensuring the motor receives power throughout the start and run processes. Star Contactor – This connects the motor windings in a star configuration during the starting phase. By doing this, the voltage applied to each winding is reduced to approximately 58% of the line voltage, which significantly lowers the starting current and reduces mechanical stress on the motor. Delta Contactor – These switches the motor windings into a delta configuration once the motor reaches a certain speed. This allows the motor to run at full voltage and deliver its rated power. The coordination of these three contactors is usually managed by a timer or a control circuit, ensuring smooth transition from star to delta. A star-delta starter requires three contactors: the main, star, and delta contactors. Each plays a vital role in reducing starting current, protecting the motor, and ensuring efficient operation. Proper selection and installation of Lauritz Knudsen contactors are critical for reliable and safe motor control.
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.
