Difference between star and delta conection

Star Connected System.

 Star connection is used where we require Neutral terminal to obtain Phase voltage like above image.
 in a star connected system VL=√3Vph,mean Phase voltage is root 3 times less than line voltage.
 In a star Connected system IL=I phase.
 Star connected system require less insulation level.
 Star Connected system is used where low starting current is required.
Delta Connected System.

 In a Delta Connected system Line Voltage is equal to Phase Voltage.

 While phase current is √3 times less than Line current.
 Insulation level is high because line voltage = Phase Voltage.
 is generally used where high starting Torque is required.

Star delta Starter of 3 phase induction Motor

A 3 Phase Induction motor consists of a stator which contains 3 phase
winding connected to the 3 phase AC supply. The arrangement of the
winding is so as to produce a rotating magnetic field. The rotor of the
Induction motor contains cylindrical core with parallel slots that contain
conductors.

Objectives of Star-Delta Technique Motor Starter are:

 Reduce high starting current and along these lines forestall motor from
overheating
 Provide over-burden and no-voltage assurance
Star Delta Starter:
In star delta starting, the motor is connected in STAR mode throughout
the starting period. When the motor reached the required speed, the motor
is connected in DELTA mode.

Star Delta Motor Control Power Circuit

Components of a Star-Delta Starter:
Contactors: The Star- Delta starter circuit comprises of three contactors:
Main, star and delta contactors. The three contactors are solicited to unite
the motor windings first in star and afterward in delta.

Timer: The contactors are regulated by a timer incorporated with the

started.

Interlock switches: Interlock switches are connected between star and

delta contactors of the control circuit as a safety measure so one can’t
activate delta contactor without deactivating star contactor. By any chance
if star and delta contactors are actuated at the same time, the motor will
be damaged.
