Hi, unfortunately you are wrong. In wye connection you are using less voltage on each windings, what equals in less power, and so on also torque. Delta connection is more common because of that it give the motor more power, and more torque than wye connection, but also it causes in more current flowing through windings. If you want confirmation of my words, there is simple way, just look at power of motor in 5:17 and then in 10:31 when you changed connections to wye. It's exactly √3 times less than it was at the beggining with delta connection.

for torque only the current really matters - and at no load the power reading is pretty meaningless. Wye windings are commonly used to increase torque and decrease the rpm.

It's just changing the kV by √3. So either you are going up in kV by √3 or down by √3. No real magic to this. If you really want to improve the motor you need to actually rewind it carefully and increase the copper fill percentage. Most motors have a copper fill of about 60%. 70% is possible with hand rewinding. 80% is nearly impossible... but if you are good sometimes you can pull it off.

Thanks for your video efforts, but at 5:37 you state this is a 14 pole motor, and I assume that info is used when using a factor of 7 to calculate actual RPM from Electrical RPM. At 09:30 you show an image of a stator complete with windings, there are 12 poles not 14 poles visible in the image. Can you confirm that is an image of the same motor being tested, or was the motor under test 14 poles?😉

Eric is correct, this works and is common practice. Before the days of power electronics, induction motors would commonly be started in Wye and run in Delta. When you wind a motor Delta the winding voltage becomes the line voltage and the winding current is 1/sqrt(3) the line current. Wye is opposite, the winding voltage is 1/sqrt(3) line voltage the winding current is the line current. This is intuitively correct just looking at the diagram. Electric motors are simple animals, the more current through the winding, the more torque. Voltage needs to increase to increase speed (counter back emf). Be careful with this one though, the winding will be carrying sqrt(3) times the current they where designed for. Resistance losses and heating will increase by the square of the current (I^2/R). The heat generated in the motor could raise by a factor of 3!

I believe so. Since the voltage per phase is divided by √3, the current per phase must increase by √3. Because P = I^2R the temperature will most likely increase (triple in theory).

No, you are only changing (lowering) kV but current limit remains basically the same as it depends mainly on the copper fill between stator teeth. You'll be able to use a larger prop as it will run slower but very little change in power. If you keep the same prop it will actually run cooler.

If you reduce the number of winds and increase their cross sectional area proportionally you can get more amps into the motor with the same amount of heat generated. This also increases the Kv proportionately and therefore also reduces the torque per amp. Ultimately, it just means that the motor becomes optimized for a lower voltage/higher current. If you want more actual power, you can very carefully rewind the motor to fit more copper in the stator, this will reduce the amount of electrical resistance for a given number of winds in the motor and allow you to run more amps through it. Another thing you can do is (if you have some gear reduction) run more reduction and a proportionately higher KV motor. You do end up running into mechanical inefficiency at high speed (bearings and gears don't tend to like 10s of thousands of RPM). Everything has tradeoffs.

of course it reduces RPM as you are increasing resistance /inductance of the circuit by setting coils in series. If you apply a voltage 24 * V3 = 41.57 you should get the same rpm as the original motor. I am expecting no problems with insulation given that this voltage is still pretty low. But i don't see how this can increase torque? ( i actually think this is wrong) i would expect torque to decrease at startup specifically since you are applying the same voltage, but divided over two coils.... Hence drawing less current, and generating less torque for the same voltage.

There's nothing great about it, because he's completely wrong. The torque drops by the same factor as the amps. The two setups will be capable of delivering the same total wattage, but one does it running high current and lov voltage, while the other does it running high voltage and low current. And seeing that current is torque, well, there you go.

That's a nice result! Do you have some sources you used know the process of rewiring to wye? I'm now thinking of doing this on a 5065 140kv racerstar for use on an e-bike i'm building. The shady chinese 48V controller I bought actually works on this motor, but I found out that it's probably not very suited for higher RPMs so this would be a good solution. Also any reduction I can get in motor RPM is useful to get to a usable RPM on the bike's big wheels.

A,B,C = D Delta that is (red wire) 1 face. + E,F,G= H Hotel that is (green wire) 2 face. + I,J,K= L Lima that is (blue wire) 3 face. Mathematically I think I figured it out.

This video is a mess. Also, while you can do this, it's pretty important to understand how much different the motor will be. He says that one loses a little rpm. Yeah right. You lose about half your rpm. Imagine those who think they want a bit more rpm and to the opposite based on this video. They will more than likely end up roasting both their ESC's and motors. Yes you can change the configuration, but one damn well needs to understand what the drawbacks are.

To make a DC generatorr. this does not work for you. you have to make specific calculations of the necessary Kv. and then you must get or rewind your motor for it. It does not matter if it is in Delta or star. Since the termination does not make a brushless motor better or worse. To be clearer: Two equal motors, with the same percentage of copper packing, and with the same Kv will be the same regardless of the termination they have. Delta or star.

@@ramadavince6611 He is 100% correct. The Delta motor draws a lot more current vs. a star configuration. Yes, if you have two motors with the same KV but one with D and one with Y, the Y likes timing a bit better and will have ever so slightly more punch off the line. But it should also be noted that the difference is so minute that most will never notice. Sure if you run SAW boats, there's something to gain, but KV is otherwise the key factor to consider. You need to understand one thing when it comes to electric motors. Amps is torque, pure and simple. And what you drop when you do what this guy in this video does, is to almost half the amps. You make a statement based on what "others say", but those clowns are usually also those who say idiotic stuff like "an electrc motor has a flat torque curve". They know nothing and shouldn't flap their jaw. If you want low end grunt, i.e torque, you need to look at the motor you can get with the highest amp draw per kv. You see a lot of people choosing the TP Power 4070CM motor for their 1/8 scale setup, because they they think it's the dogs danglies. That is correct if you're a speed runner and run the motor on top rpm. But for most, it makes little sense. Here's an example. TP 4070 CM 2200KV on 6S which many run. That runs 264 amps max. So that's about 5861 watts on 6S. Now take a regular TP 4070 with a 2250 kv rating and look at the amp draw. Even though these two motors are fairly close in KV and many think one is more powerful than the other, that's not always the case. The regular motor will take 318 amps. So at the end of the day you end up with 1200 more watts and much better torque. Yes, the 4070 is capable of delivering 9000 watts peak, but it needs 34 volts to do so. And while you get more rpm, due to higher voltage, you don't get any more torque. Amps equals torque, and volts equals rpm. Drop the amps and you reduce torque. ChillingLu is spot on and this video is nonsense. I'd strongly advise you to read some books rather than listen to incorrect information from people who think they know, but don't.
