what is the difference between line & phase current in star delta connection motor?

Answer Posted / e. segovia

In 3ph star connections we can prove by means of drawings
or maths methods that Line current = SQRT(3)*Phase
current, and in delta connections Line current = Phase
current, that is why we use star-delta connection for
heavy motor startings. This means we can lower the current
at starting and then after having overcome the system
inertia we swap to delta connection. worth mentioning that:
In delta, Line voltage = Phase voltage
In star, Line voltage = SQRT(3)*Phase voltage.

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
