When an induction motor starts directly online, it draws a starting current substantially higher than its standard full-load current. This large amount of current can damage the motor windings and may also result in voltage sags on the feeder supply line. Star-Delta (also known as WYE-Delta) Starters are the most commonly used motor starting methods to reduce the starting current of many induction motors. In the Star-Delta starter, the motor is initially started in the Star wiring configuration.
