It's hard to understand what you posted, but it appears as though you are trying to start a motor using Star-Delta starting, and the motor does not rotate, it just hums.

If that's correct, it could be a number of issues. The first thing I would check is that you have made up all of the connections correctly. One connection out of place will do this. If you are absolutely sure it is connected correctly, then look for burned contacts in your motor starter, or even blown fuses. A single phasing condition will cause that as well.

I wish you luck.
