So using the resistive start is a viable option? If not how, if its possible, can I do a Wye - Delta start configuration on a 9 lead Delta motor? If I'm not mistaken that will start the motor at around 58% of its torque rating. Across the line start is a very dangerous start for this peice of...
I know that there are other ways of starting this motor, for example a Wye - Delta Start. Thats seems more feesable, but how would you connect it when using a 9 lead motor. I understand the function of a resistive starter, just wanted to know if is a smart way to go with that size motor.
I am trying to come up with a way to hook-up a 50 Hp, 3PHZ, 9 lead Delta motor that runs a VERY large plainer. Was told that it needed a "soft Start" to use the equipment, this probably due to the direct drive to the plainer that uses 6" wide flat belts to turn the componants on the plainer. The...
