Delta motors should have more starting current than Wye (Star) motors because Delta motors have two windings to take current per phase -- they are wired Phase to Phase. Star motors have only one winding per phase -- they are wired Phase to Neutral.

What is Full load current for 40 HP star delta motor?
What is the continuous current of 10HP star delta motor
What is a forward-reverse star delta?
A forward reverse star delta is a two in one motor starter where a motor first runs on star connection and then changed to delta connection after a time which has been set. The motor direction can be changed, whether forward or reverse
What will happen if induction motor is in star-star connected?
If a motor is connected in a star configuration it will operate at a slower speed. This is the working process that a star delta starter operates on. At first through the starter the motor starts in the star connection. When the motor gets up to its highest speed in that connection it times a timer out , the star starter drops out and the delta starter pulls in and then connects the motor in the delta connection. This allows more voltage to be applied to the motor and it then speeds up to its nameplate rated RPM.
How can a dlta connected motor be converted in star?
If the motor terminal has six terminals in the terminal box, then it can be connected either in delta or star. If there are only 3 terminal wires then the motor can not be connected in star.(it means that the motor is designed to be connected in delta only)
What is the starting sequence of a star-delta starter?
This is the schematic for the starter. K1T is a timer. Initially KM1 and KM3 are closed to start the motor. Then KM2 is closed and KM1 is opened to run the motor This is the equivalent ladder logic using relays and timers.
Should a star-delta motor be supplied wye or delta power?
A star-delta motor should be supplied star-delta.Wye is simply another name for star. Star-delta motors use a star or wye configuration to start, and a delta configuration to run. This reduces the voltage on the windings during the high current starting time.
What are the advantages of using star connection?
The inrush current is reduced. This is the reason for star delta starters. Motor starts on star and after about 10 to 15 seconds, depending on the load of the motor, it switches to a delta configuration to run.
Can you run a star delta motor on just the star connection?
Yes, but you won't get full power. You'll only get half power.
What will happen when motor is connected to star?
If the motor is designed to operate on star (wye) then it is fine. If it is designed to operate on delta, then you need to consider that star will present lower operating voltage than delta, and that might damage the motor.Some motors are designed to start on star and run on delta. Usually, this applies to larger motors, and cannot be overlooked. If there are only three wires (ignoring chassis ground), then the motor is intended for delta. If there are only four wires, the the motor is intended for star. If there are six wires, then the motor is intended for star-delta. Of course, the starter controls could be integrated with the motor, so it is best to consult the name plate and operate the motor exactly as it was designed.

What will cause a star delta panel to trip in delta?
On a star delta starter a motor overload or a motor going to ground and cause a short circuit will cause the overload protection to trip. These overloads have to be reset before the motor can be restarted.
Star delta motor what are the links across the terminal for?
That is the star point contactor that opens when it goes into the delta configuration.
What can be done with the help of star and delta conversions?
Using star delta method of wiring you can run high rated motor with out any high starting current. Star connection can provide 3 phase power as well as single phase load

Can you reverse the motor if it is running in star or delta?
YES!!!
