This video is gold. This would have saved me from a lot of head scratching and heart burn years ago. Just remember, most older equipment in America is all one color of wire and nothing is ever label. It's always been worked on by 50 people who have no idea what the equipment is suppose to do. This video is awesome!

[@BobCWhite]

Agreed. I am currently working at an unnamed university. And nothing is labeled and every wire is the same color.

[@RobertL78]

While it’s a reduced voltage method for starting, you must also remember it’s a reduced torque start also. If the motor can’t reach full speed in star, when it goes to delta, you can still see a huge amp draw spike if the changeover happens below full rpm.

[@georgembugua1882]

Thanks man, and a million blessings. I have never had anything explained so well I understood something I've been struggling with completely! I work with power systems and dub a lot in electrical systems though I am not an electrician, and I've been struggling with half-baked techs who mess things up a lot. I'm going to use your video lessons for my teams. You are a great teacher, thanks again.

[@jamesallan7133]

The best explanation I have seen regarding Star Delta and why Star and Delta are used. Clarified some of my misnomas and the explanation helped me make sense and agree with what was being stated. Many discussions and forums I have looked at are under the impression that the motors run slower in star. Speed of a motor is determined by pole pairs and the frequency of the power source and then affected by slip between rotor and stator with flux density being a factor. Flux density is directly proportional to current. With 58% of the current in Star, there would be a reciprocating reduction in flux density. I suppose with lower torque due to lower flux density in the motor, motor slip may be greater and this would then align with comments that the motor runs slower than in Delta. Something I think I would like to test some time. Once again, a brilliant presentation of this subject.

[@TheWoodCraftsman]

Very interesting! I never knew that star-delta (or wye -delta in the USA) was considered reduced voltage starting.One of the only things I knew was you had to have a 6 or 12 wire motor to be able to use this starting method.Your explanation made so much more sense then ever explained to me before and was a lot easier to follow.

[@HazemShurrab]

Hi Paul Thank you for this informative and amazing video. I think beginners might be confused about the difference between the wiring of Delta connections shown in 2:50 and 5:00. Where, in the first connection, U1 and W2 were shorted, whereas, in the second, you shorted U1 and V2. The reason behind that is that shorting any two terminals of different letters results in having the motor connected in a delta configuration.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Thank, I think you're right. We just uploaded some wiring diagrams to help with this also. EngMind.info/Star-Delta-Starters

[@markwhaley494]

I think that in the second configuration it will try to change the direction when it switches to delta, and then it will draw a huge current and blow the fuses

[@rauln1426]

Marwin Tisado My comments were in regards to min. 5:25 Motor terminals should be U1-W2, V1-U2, and W1-V2, because you need to be able to setup the motor for Star or Delta using the links. Thus from the main contactor you will have connections: L1 to U1, L2 to V1 and L3 to W1. From the star/delta contactors you will have connections: L1 to W2, L2 to U2 and L3 to V2. Hope this makes sense.

[@1artonpower]

@@rauln1426 Right 2.50 he said for Delta configuration connect L1 to U1 to W2, L2 to V1 to U2 and L3 to W1 to V2 5.55 contradiction for Delta as figure shows L1 to U1 to V2', L2 to V1 to W2' and L3 to W1 to U2 The motor will work fine indeed but that 'mistake can confuse people learning the base.

Seems to me that the diagram has an error. The Delta contactor's wiring looks to be out of phase. At 5:00 and onwards, Red wire (left contact) should go to W2, Yellow wire (center contact) should go to U2, and Blue wire (right contact) should go to V2.

[@karlisbrinkmanis8728]

Great video! Nevertheless, there is one question that crossed. When you start showing the automation of changing star-delta at 4:50, in the animation it is demonstrated that W2 is connected to the yellow phase, U2 is connected to the blue phase and V2 is connected to the red phase, when delta configuration is being used. However, earlier in the video, at 2:55 it is shown that U2 along with V1 is connected to the yellow phase, W2 along with U1 is connected to the red phase and finally V2 along with W1 is connected to the blue phase. So I started wondering, why is there a change all of a sudden, to be more precise, why in the case of delta configuration W2 is connected to the red phase, but when it comes to star-delta automation is W2 connected to the yellow phase? I really can not find any logic behind that and would be grateful if you could answer my question.

[@AMaz-zx9sj]

Yea I have the same inquiry and probably it was a mistake

[@billmclain88]

I've watched this video multiple times and I caught that today and it confused me. Technically, it is still delta but it is confusing because normally delta is "across the line" which would be U1 to W2, V1 to U2, W1 to V2 and to be consistent with the live motor that was shown, it would be the same. Still a great video and I have recommended it countless times to people for a good visual to understand at least the concept.

Its not just the sudden drain and voltage drop from starting in delta, the motor itself experiences very big forces. When i studied this stuff when i was a teen we got to do lots of practical stuff on our own, starting big motors in delta released big forces that would twist/shake the motors violently and it made terrible cranking sounds for a short time.

The timer from my experience has a delay change over time of 40ms. This is to allow the arc generated on the star contactor to dissipate when switching off before the delta contactor energises.

Correct me if i am wrong, but as an industrial electrician for 40 years, we used to set the timer to allow the motor to accelerate to full (or almost) full speed. this is mainly to reduce starting current on a limited capacity supply

There used to be a semi manual approach to changing over star-delta Allen West had dashpot starters where you had to press the start button then change over using a manual handle to operate the change over contacts. Whilst crude compared to using contactors the Allen west dashpots were very robust and were able to tolerate poor environments and misuse.
