Thanks guys for the thoughts. I may have muddied the water a bit by introducing the 1-3 phase stuff. If I can get a comment simply of the power issues if i wire (say) a 20 HP 3 phase motor in Delta and then in Star Both using a 460 volt 3 phase supply. Do they have the same power?
I am a little confused about the ratings of a standard 3phase motor when it is connected in star rather than delta. We are working on a project where we want to insert a capacitor beween two of the phases to provide a circulating field so that the motor will run from single phase supply. The...
