Star-delta starting of induction motor

Star-Delta Starting is a popular method used to reduce the starting current of a three-phase induction motor

You are now following this Submission

Basic Principle of Star-Delta Starter
  • The motor initially starts with the stator windings connected in a star (Y) configuration.
  • After a short time delay (usually 3–10 seconds), the connection is switched to a delta (Δ) configuration.
  • This reduces the starting voltage and current by a factor of 1/√3 (about 58%) compared to direct-on-line (DOL) starting.
