why we use star connection in HT motor? and delta connection in LT motor..

Answer / vinoth

In HT motors it will reduce the starting current up to 60 percent thats why we prefer star to delta conection..........but in LT motors we use Direct online starter/.......it doesnt reduce the starting current

why we use star connection in HT motor? and delta connection in LT motor..

Answer / madhu

The starting current for motors is 6 to 7 times full load current. So start-up power will be large if HT motors are delta connected. It may cause instability (voltage dip) in case small Power system. In starred HT motor starting current will be less compared to delta connected motor. So starting power is reduced. Starting torque will also be reduced. (It will not be a problem as motors are of high capacity.)

It is a three inch fan and i want it to rotate to other direction .I've tried cutting the wire and reconnecting them inverse like black to white and white to black ,but it won't start rotating when i plug it in that way.And then it works again when i rejoin the wire to the way it is. I don't know what causing the problem.Is there anyone familiar with these small mortor?Any suggestion would be appreciated.Thanks!! http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm163/sasukebloodwheel/110527-105859.jpg
