This is a 3-phase, dual-voltage motor. The 12 leads represent six different windings. For the higher voltage, pairs of windings are connected in series, then the three resulting pairs are connected into a delta configuration to tie to the power source. For the lower voltage, the pairs of windings are instead connected in parallel before combining them into the delta configuration. The windings MUST be combined in the proper order AND in the correct phase for it to work. Mistakes result in great quantities of smoke being released! Each of the leads should have a label, such as T1, T2, T3, etc. It will be either an adhesive label or sometimes printed in ink right on the wire. There is no standard labeling scheme, so each manufacturer always shows the connections for each voltage on the motor nameplate. There is no real way to guess at this, if the nameplate is missing contact the manufacturer for a diagram.

How can you wire a 6-pole isolator to disconnect a 6-wire star delta motor away from the mcc and near to the motor?
There is no need to place a 6 pole disconnect to isolate the motor in the field. The motor's leads at the motor's terminal box have to be wired for a delta connection. The star delta contactor in the MCC only has three wires on its output. Six wires do not have to be taken directly to the motor. The voltage is reduced at the start of the circuit when the starter in in the star configuration. From the star configuration it changes to the delta configuration. So as you can see only a three pole isolation switch is needed in the field to isolate the motor from its supply.
How can you terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection?
To terminate a 3 wire wye motor to a 3 phase delta connection you need a 3 phase transformer to convert from delta to wye. Do not lift the common neutral connections inside the motor and rewire for delta, because the voltages will be wrong.
Can a bad circuit breaker on a 3 phase motor cause the motor to run backwards?
No. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two phases to reverse the rotation, like this: Old wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T1 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T2 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3 New wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T2 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T1 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3
Why motor is connected in star connection first in star delta starter?
To use a star delta starter, the motor must be a three phase six wire motor. The extra wires out are the wires that are usually terminated in the motor housing as the star point. The starter, when energized, brings the star contactor in and closes the star point coil ends. An external timer times out after the motor gets up to speed in the star connection and drops the star contactor and closes the delta contactor. When in the delta connection the motor coils are then paralleled to allow the motor to run at full voltage.
How do you wire star delta motor having no labels of wires?
You can't , without knowing which winding is which . 9 times out of 10 it will just trip your protection device if it's connected wrong . U need to watch for it starting i'n forward i'n star but when it kicks into delta goes i'n reverse . If u take the motor to a winding shop they should be able to identifie which winding is which .

Why use link in star contactor?
The link in the star contactor is used to form the star point of three of the motor leads. On most star wound motors the star point is inside the motor windings. On a motor that can be used for star delta starting it is a six wire motor. The star point winding depends on the contactor to tie the coil ends together externally in the control panel of the star delta starter.

Where is the starter motor located on the 1999 Oldsmobile Delta 88?
it is in the front of the engine follow the + wire from battery
What is the connection of normal wire star or delta?
normally delta connection wired in 3 phase induction motor. during starting wiring is in Star and after running normal speed changeover to delta .beacause starting time its phase voltage equals less root3 times of line voltage ,line current and phase current equals. in Delta phase voltage and line voltage equals, and phase current equals root3 times line current
How do you change a 6 wire three phase motor to a 3 wire?
The six wire motor is probably a two speed or a dual voltage motor. Look on the underside of the motor's junction box. Here is where the wiring diagram of the motor is pasted. Look on the motor's name plate to see if it is a two speed motor. There will be two sets of amps and RPM and maybe voltages. It could be that six terminals are brought out to terminal box so that it can be connected either in delta or star configuration. As stated above the name plate details would indicate the correct connection.
How you wire star delta starter with remote on component?
Yes quite easily as many explosives are wired remotely.
