    Typical Circuit Diagram of Star Delta Starter

    This document describes a star-delta starting method that uses contactors and a timer to reduce starting current and torque. The motor starts in a star configuration for reduced torque and current, then switches to delta for normal running once up to speed, though heavy loads may prevent it from accelerating fully in star.

    This is a starting method that reduces the starting current and starting torque. The device
    normally consists of three contactors, an overload relay and a timer for setting the time in the
    star-position (starting position). The motor must be delta connected during a normal run, in order
    to be able to use this starting method. The received starting current is about 30 % of the starting
    current during direct on line start and the starting torque is reduced to about 25 % of the torque
    available at a D.O.L start. This starting method only works when the application is light loaded
    during the start. If the motor is too heavily loaded, there will not be enough torque to accelerate
    the motor up to speed before switching over to the delta position. When starting up pumps and
    fans for example, the load torque is low at the beginning of the start and increases with the
    square of the speed. When reaching approx. 80-85 % of the motor rated speed the load torque is
    equal to the motor torque and the acceleration ceases. To reach the rated speed, a switch over to
    delta position is necessary, and this will very often result in high transmission and current peaks.
    In some cases the current peak can reach a value that is even bigger than for a D.O.L start.
    Applications with a load torque higher than 50 % of the motor rated torque will not be able to
    start using the start-delta starter.
