Industrial Star Delta Starter for a 3-Phas

Induction Motor
A 3 Phase Induction motor consists of a stator which contains 3 phase winding connect
AC supply. The arrangement of the winding is so as to produce a rotating magnetic fiel
Induction motor contains cylindrical core with parallel slots that contain conductors.
Problems Encountered During Motor Starting:

The most basic feature of an Induction motor is its self starting mechanism. Due to the
field, an emf is induced in the rotor, because of which current starts flowing in the roto
law, the rotor will start rotating in a direction so as to oppose the flow of electric curren
torque to the motor. Thus the motor gets self started.
Motor Starting Period Vs Steady State Running Period

During this self starting period, as torque increases, a large amount of current flows in th
this the stator draws a large amount of current and by the time the motor reaches its
amount of current is drawn and coils get heated up, damaging the motor. Hence there is
the motor starting. One way is to reduce the applied voltage, which in turn reduces the to
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
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
The three contactors are solicited to unite the motor windings first in star and afterward in
Timer: The contactors are regulated by a timer incorporated with the started.
Interlock switches: Interlock switches are connected between star and delta contact

Working of Star-Delta Starter:

At first the primary contactor and the star contactors are shut. After a time interval the

At the time of starting when the stator windings are star associated, every stator stage g

advanced by an induction motor is corresponding to the square of the applied voltage;
decreases the starting torque to one- third of that possible by immediate delta starting.
The timer controls conversion from star connection to delta connection. A timer in star de

Terminal Connections in Star and Delta Configurations:

Types of Star Delta Starter:

There are two types of star-delta starters, open and close.
Star Delta Open Transition Starter:
It is the most widely recognized strategy for star-delta starting. As the name propose
motor windings are open throughout the transition time of altering the windings from a
delta mode. The star-delta open move starter uses 3 motor contactors and a move delay
Merits:
Open transition starter is very easy to implement in terms of cost and circuitry, it
additional voltage educing equipment.
Demerits:
Open transition makes a surge of current and torque at change over which stuns
electrically and mechanically. Electrically, the outcome of the momentary peaks in cu
force vacillations or misfortunes. Mechanically, the expanded torque coming about beca
spike could be sufficient to harm system components i.e. snap a drive shaft.
Star Delta Closed Transition Starter:

In this starter, the transfer from the star to delta modes is made without disengaging mot

The extra components incorporate a contactor and few transition resistors. The t
consume the present stream throughout the winding changeover. A fourth contactor is a

circuit is more confounded because of the need to complete resistor exchanging.
Merit:
There is a reduction in the incremental current surge, which results from transition. Thu
starter has a smooth change over.
Demerit:
In addition to requiring more switching devices, the control circuit is more complicated d
carry out resistor switching. Also, the added circuitry leads to significant rise in the cost o

Example of Star-Delta Starter:

A Star-Delta starter is generally used to reduce start current of the motor. An example
about the star-delta starter.
From the circuit, we used a supply of 440volts to start a motor. And here we used a se
motor connections from star to delta with a time delay. In this, we explained the work
instead of motor for easy understanding. Throughout star operation the lamps might glow
supply voltage over the coils are 440volts. During delta operation after the timer work
glow with full intensity showing full supply voltage of 440volts. The 555 timer perform
operation, the output of which is sustained to a relay for updating the mains supply from
delta.
