WHY 6.6KV MOTORS ARE STAR CONNECTED AND WHY NOT DELTA CONNECTED,

Answer Posted / dd

As per Industrial practice, it is mandatory to run motors
greater than 200kW at medium voltages. These motors are
star connected to reduce voltage across each phase winding
to 1/root3. This reduces burden on the winding insulation
as starting time is longer.
