Induction motors not kept running in Star Connections

Induction motors are not kept on running in Star connections due to following reasons:-

In Star connections, Phase current= Line current and

Phase voltage= Line voltage/ √3.

As Power = √3X Line Voltage XLine Current X Power Factor

This means that during starting voltage get reduced by factor 1/√3.
So current is also get reduced by factor 1/√3.
So Torque also gets reduced by factor 1/3 as Torque is directly proportional to square of voltage.
Due to reduced voltage Motor unable to take-up higher loads.

So motor power get reduced by 1/3 times then in Delta connections that is why motor is not kept running in Star connections. As motor is get under utilized.
So Motor will kept on running at reduced power and means motor will run at low efficiency

Electrical Contactors AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4

Image
Electrical Contactors Utilization Categories:- Electrical Contactors are categorized according to the current making and breaking values for contactors. This will depend on the following: The type of load to be controlled (Inductive load, Lighting load, Motor load, Resistive load, Capacitive load) The operating cycle conditions. For any applications there are different contactors available depending upon load application which every electrical engineer you must know before designing any systems.  You may have often seen the ratings described on contactor name plate depicting various parameters. One of most important to be considered are as described in this article.  AC1 - These type of contactors are used for Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads they are used for Heaters which are resistive loads. AC2 - These type of contactors are used in Starting of slip-ring motors AC3 – They are particularly used for Starting of squirrel-cage motors and sw...
