Different starting methods Star-Delta (Picture 1): A star-delta starter is the most commonly used method for starting a three-phase induction motor. In star delta starting, an induction motor is connected via a star connection throughout the starting period. In order to use this starting method, the motor must be delta connected during a normal run. This starting system has some disadvantages that are mentioned below: -Overload current drawn from electric grid at the time of starting -Current and mechanical shocks at the load torque starting moment -Current and mechanical shocks to the motor at the moment of changing status from Star to Delta which reduces the motor useful lifespan -by increasing the current range, the contactors and bimetals sizes are increased Soft Starter…
