How to convert millimeters to inches
1 millimeter is equal to 0.03937007874 inches:
1mm = (1/25.4)″ = 0.03937007874″
The distance d in inches (″) is equal to the distance d in millimeters (mm) divided by
25.4:
d(″) = d(mm) / 25.4
Example
Convert 20 mm to inches:
d(″) = 20mm / 25.4 = 0.7874″

Line Current is Equal to Phase Current. i.e. Line Voltage is Equal to Phase Voltage. i.e.
Line Current = Phase Current Line Voltage = Phase Voltage
IL = IPH VL = VPH
Line Voltage is √3 times of Phase Voltage. Line Current is √3 times of Phase Current.
i.e. i.e.
VL = √3 VPH IL = √3 IPH
The Total Power of three phases could be The Total Power of three phases could be
found by found by

Comparision of Direct-on-line (DOL) and Star-delta Motor Starting (photo credit:
ukworkshop.co.uk)
Go back to Methods ↑
Advantages of DOL
DOL starting is the simplest, cheapest and most common starting method.
Furthermore it actually gives the lowest temperature rise within the motor during
start up of all the starting methods.
It is the obvious choice wherever the supply authority’s current limiting
restrictions allow for its use.
Power plants may have varying rules and regulations in different countries. For
example: Three-phase motors with locked-rotor currents above 60 A must not
use direct-on-line starting in Denmark. In such cases, it will obviously be
necessary to select another starting method.
Motors that start and stop frequently often have some kind of control system,
which consist of a contactor and overload protection such as a thermal relay.
Go back to Methods ↑
Drawbacks of DOL
Small motors which do not start and stop frequently need only very simple
starting equipment, often in the form of a hand-operated motor protection
circuit breaker.
Full voltage is switched directly onto the motor terminals. For small motors, the
starting torque will be 150% to 300% of the full-load value, while the starting
current will be 300% to 800% of the full-load current or even higher.
Go back to Methods ↑
Star-delta starting
The objective of this starting method, which is used with three-phase induction
motors, is to reduce the starting current .
In starting position, current supply to the stator windings is connected in star (Y)
for starting. In the running position, current supply is reconnected to the
windings in delta (∆) once the motor has gained speed .

Go back to Methods ↑
Advantages of Y-Δ
Normally, low-voltage motors over 3 kW will be dimensioned to run at
either 400 V in delta (∆) connection or at 690 V in star (Y) connection . The
flexibility provided by this design can also be used to start the motor with a
lower voltage. Star-delta connections give a low starting current of only about
one third of that found with direct-on-line starting.
Star-delta starters are particularly suited for high inertias , where the load are
initiated after full load speed.
Start-delta starter curve –
Synchronous speed / Full-load torque
Go back to Methods ↑
If the changeover from star to delta takes place at too low a speed, this can
cause a current surge which rises almost as high as the corresponding DOL
value. During the even small period of switch over from start to delta
connection the motor looses speed very rapidly , which also calls for higher
current pulse after connection to delta.
The two illustrations to the right show two features which should be taken into
consideration when using star-delta starting. The starter first connects the motor
in star (contactor K1 and K3). After a time period – which depends on individual
needs – it connects the motor in delta contactor K3 open and contactor
K2 close.
Starting torque and current are considerably lower at star-delta starting than at
direct-on-line starting: one third of the equivalent DOL value.
