Star Delta Motor Starter
Call for Price
A star-delta motor starter is a device that reduces the amount of current required to start a motor, especially three-phase induction motors. It’s often used when the motor is starting without a load and when the starting current is relatively low.
Star-delta starters are made up of several components, including: contactors, overload protection relays, circuit breakers, star and delta-configured contactors, and timers.
When a star-delta starter is used, the motor can gradually increase in speed while only using one-third of the delta current. Once the motor reaches 80% of its full speed or a preset time has passed, it’s switched to a normal delta configuration, which uses a single winding at full voltage and draws the full load current.
Star-delta starters are useful because they can reduce disturbances and interference on the electrical supply that can be caused by sudden increases in current. These increases in current can lead to component failure, fires, and voltage drops that can affect other devices on the electrical network.
