why star point of motor shall not be grounded?

Answer Posted / ranjit kumar mallick

In induction motor the rotor movement is due to it's
interaction with the stator resultant rotating magnetic
field flux and the resultant magnetic flux is due to the
three phase closed circuit. Once we ground the star point
the resultant magnetic field will drop and it becomes
extremely dangerous in case of fault as motor will run at
low speed without triping due to the current path available
to ground.So it will draw high current

I have a small system with two motors that are running on 380 vac, 60 hz. These motors are expensive and I usally get them from Brazil. I am adding another motor to the system, but I want to purchase a 480 vac, 60 hz motor to use. It will be on a VFD that is rated fro 380 thru 480. Is this posible and will I have to use a larger motor and derate it?
