Motors, Delta vs Star Connection.
Motors, Delta vs Star Connection.
(OP)
Something I have wondered for years. The difference between delta wound motors and star wound motors when the going gets rough. I know that both configurations work equally well on good systems. But, when the system is less than perfect; (unequal voltages, unequal phase angles, unequal voltages and unequal phase angles) does one configuration perform better than the other?
Thanks in advance.

But IIRC, there was mention by someone of Y wound motors being more fault tolerant, although I don't recall being persuaded by the argument they put forth.
