OBJECTIVES

After finishing this experiment the student should be able to:

1. To understand the function of the wye-delta time relay in this experiment

THEORY

Most induction motors are started directly on line, but when very large motors are started
that way, they cause a disturbance of voltage on the supply lines due to large starting current
surges. To limit the starting current surge, large induction motors are started at reduced voltage
and then have full supply voltage reconnected when they run up to near rotated speed. Two
methods can be used for reduction of starting voltage are star delta starting and wye-delta
starting.
Voltage reduction during star-delta starting is achieved by physically reconfiguring the motor
windings as illustrated in the figure below. During starting the motor windings are connected in
star configuration and this reduces the voltage across each winding 3. This also reduces the
torque by a factor of three. After a period of time the winding are reconfigured as delta and the
motor runs normally.

Figure 10-2 Power Circuit of the Wye Delta

Figure 10-1 and 10-2 shows the power and control circuit of a “WYE-DELTA Reduced
Voltage Starter”. A time delay relay (Timer) is in the control circuit. The timer TR will delay the
opening and closing of its normally closed contact TR (8-5) and normally open TR (8-6)
respectively when its coil terminals TR (2-7) is energized, the duration of delaying I set by
adjusting a knob in the timer TR.
Referring to Figures 10-1 and 10-2, pressing the start push button will energized M1
contactor, timer TR, delay relay, and S contactor. Contactor M1 (13-14) will closed to maintain
control circuit. Contacts S (11-12) will open to prevent unnecessary energizing of contact motor
M2. Contacts M1 (1-2,3-4,5-6) and S (1-2,3-4,5-6) will closed simultaneously to connect the
motor windings (T1-T4,T2-T5,T3-T6) into WYE connection.
After a few seconds the normally closed the normally closed contact TR (8-5) will open and
normally open contact TR (8-6) will close. Contactor S will be de-energized to open its contacts
S (1-2,3-4,5-6) and closed its contact S (11-12). Also contactor M2 is energized when TR (8-6)
closes. Contacts M1 (1-2, 3-4, 5-6) will closed. At this contacts M1 (1-2,3-4,5-6) remains
closed. At this condition the motor winding (T1-T4, T2-T5, and T3-T6) is change into delta
connection as shown in figure below (D). Pressing the Stop push button will de- energized
contactor M1, timer TR, and contactor M2. This will bring the motor into halt.
