Full Voltage Starter for a Delta Connection
Full Voltage Starter for a Delta Connection
(OP)
I have a GE 4.16 KV motor, 500 HP, air compressor, 6 leads suitable for a Star-Delta starter, so it is my first time that I have just a simple full Voltage starter and I was looking any information from vendor in order to know if we can to proceed with a Delta star to continue in Delta-Run, considering a high inrush current about 6 or 7 times FLA.
Any comments from you guys I'll appreciate.

This is too basic a question to be asked by person dealing with 4.16kV and 500HP motor.

It is also true that most MV motors are intended to run in star configuration, but I would not make any assumptions without mfr. or nameplate data.
