Star-Delta (Wye-Delta) Starting
The Smart Motor Manager issues the command to switch from star to delta (wye to delta) as
soon as the starting current has dropped to the rated value and thus the motor has reached its
normal speed in star (wye). If starting has not been completed within the normal time for this
application [max. star (wye) operation], a change to delta will be made, regardless of the speed
attained.
The permissible time for star (wye) operation can be switched on or off as desired. If it is off,
the change to delta is made solely with reference to the motor current.
If the motor has to be switched off when the normal starting time in star (wye) is exceeded,
the “monitoring starting time” function must also be activated (refer to page3-34).
