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.
