why the motor running in delta connection ? it can be in star?

Answer Posted / shaji samuel

Motor can be connected in delta as well as star.

In delta connection the maximum power that motor can give
is motor rating.ex 15 kw motor 15kw power.

In star connection the maximum power motor can give is
(motor KW * 1/3). Now the motor is derated.

Also note that if your motor 50% only loaded then the motor
winding can be connected in star instead of delta. This
will give you power saving. Also take care that always load
on motor is less than 50% or else motor winding will get
burnt. For more clarification mail me on
