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 can you include phase failure relay in your star delta motor starter circuit?
The star delta motor starter circuit has to have a control voltage to energize the motor magnetic contractors. A phase failure relay monitors all three phases of the incoming supply lines. The phase failure relay also has auxiliary contacts on it. There are usually two sets of "C" form contacts. The control voltage for the starter circuit must be connected across the normally open (N.O.) contacts of one of these two sets. When the phase monitor is energized these N.O. contacts close supplying the control voltage to the circuitry of the star delta starters. If there is a phase interruption, phase reversal or phase loss, the phase failure relay will de-energize and the N.O. contacts will go back to their de-energized state. If the star delta motor starter is in use at the time, its control circuitry voltage will be lost and the delta motor magnetic contactor will open. The opening of this contactor will disconnect the motor from the failed three phase supply.
Why star delta timer required for motor?
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.
How do you wire a star delta motor?
This answer has been temporarily closed to changesbecause so many askers have been repeatedly splitting-off variants of the question such as "Can you give me simple diagram for star-delta starter".Please note: diagrams cannot be included in answers.The answer given includes plenty of details for anyone to be able produce a simple diagram showing how a 3-phase motor can be wired in star and delta configurations.AnswerTo be able to wire a 3-phase motor either in star or delta, all 6 ends of the three sets of coils, called "windings", have to be exposed with suitable connection terminals.The windings are often labelled A1, A2, A3 and B1, B2, B3, where "1", "2" and "3" denote the separate phase windings and "A" and "B" denote the beginning and end of each winding.Another way of describing it is to say that the separate windings can be labelled:Winding 1: A1 B1. Winding 2: A2 B2, Winding 3: A3 B3.In star configuration either all the A's or all the B's are connected together and the 3-phase supply (consisting of three separate "phase lines" labelled L1, L2, L3) is connected to the remaining three connectors. For example, if you connect B1 to B2 and B2 to B3 to form the center of the "star" then you must connect supply L1 to A1; supply L2 to A2 and supply L3 to A3.In delta configuration, connect B1 to A2, B2 to A3, B3 to A1. (If you draw that out as a schematic diagram, it will be a triangle.) Then connect supply L1 to A1; supply L2 to A2 and supply L3 to A3. (Exactly the same as the supply lines were connected before, for the star configuration.)The initial making of those connections in "star" - and subsequent changing into "delta" after the motor has built-up sufficient speed - would all normally be handled by a "star-delta motor starter" unit. A good tip: before you ever start hooking one up, study its schematic wiring diagram carefully to be sure you really understand which of its terminals connect to which motor terminals, and where to connect each line of the 3-phase service cable.Note:Some 3-phase motors use an alternative way of labelling the windings: 1A, 1B, 1C and 2A, 2B, 2C.Electronic motor-control systems, which offer soft-starts in DELTA configuration, are now replacing the use of manual or semi-automatic star-delta starters.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What are the names in the star wars delta squad?
boss, fixer, scorch, and sev.
What is the temperature of delta columbae?
Delta Columbae (Ghusn al Zaitun) is a binary yellow giant star in the constellation Columba.They both have a spectral type of G7 so they will have a temperature about 5,280 Kelvin
What will happen if induction motor is in star-star connected?
If a motor is connected in a star configuration it will operate at a slower speed. This is the working process that a star delta starter operates on. At first through the starter the motor starts in the star connection. When the motor gets up to its highest speed in that connection it times a timer out , the star starter drops out and the delta starter pulls in and then connects the motor in the delta connection. This allows more voltage to be applied to the motor and it then speeds up to its nameplate rated RPM.
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.
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.
What component used to start a modern induction motor?
Star delta starter
Star delta starter for 3 phase induction motor?
how will you start 3phase inuction motor using star delta stater
What is a forward-reverse star delta?
A forward reverse star delta is a two in one motor starter where a motor first runs on star connection and then changed to delta connection after a time which has been set. The motor direction can be changed, whether forward or reverse
What will cause a star delta panel to trip in delta?
On a star delta starter a motor overload or a motor going to ground and cause a short circuit will cause the overload protection to trip. These overloads have to be reset before the motor can be restarted.
When star-delta starter timer will disconnnect?
its is very simple whem motor shifted on delta then timer will disconnect
When a rewinded 60hp motor is tested on empty with star delta starter it picks up speed in star and falls its rpm suddenly when the starter is in on condition reasons?
Check the star - delta wiring. It does not seem to be correctly wired.
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!
Why motor protection circuit breaker is not used in star delta starter?
please you give me reply to answer.
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.
