The scenario
A three-phase induction motor starts in star configuration to limit inrush current, then automatically transitions to delta after a preset timer delay when the motor reaches sufficient speed.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Use a timer relay to control the star-to-delta transition
02
Separate contactors for main, star, and delta connections
03
Include latching start circuit to maintain main contactor after start
Reuse for industrial motor starters, pump control panels, compressor drives, and any three-phase motor requiring reduced-voltage starting.
