STUDY OF STARTERS AND THREE PHASE CONNECTION OF
A TRANSFORMER
Date:
AIM
To Study about the starters and three phase connection of a transformer.
APPRATUS REQUIRED
THEORY :
In practice the value of the armature resistance is of the order of 1 ohms and at
the instant of starting the value of the back e.m.f is zero volts. Therefore under
starting conditions the value of the armature current is very high. This high
inrush current at the time of starting may damage the motor. To protect the
motor from such dangerous current the

It is used for starting D.C. series motors which has the problem of over speeding
due to the loss of load from its shaft. Here for starting the motor the control arm
is moved in clock-wise direction from its OFF position to the ON position against
the spring tension. The control arm is held in the ON position by the
electromagnet E. The exciting coil of the hold-on electromagnet E is connected in
series with the armature circuit. If the motor loses its load, current decreases
and hence the strength of the electromagnet also decreases. The control arm
returns to the OFF position due to the spring tension, Thus preventing the motor
from over speeding. The starter also returns to the OFF position when the supply
voltage decreases appreciably. L and F are the two points of the starte which are
connected with the motor terminals
It is used for starting the shunt or compound motor. The coil of the hold on
electromagnet E is connected in series with the shunt field coil. In the case of
disconnection in the field circuit the control arm will return to its OFF position due
to spring tension. This is necessary because the shunt motor will over speed if it
loses excitation. The starter also returns to the OFF position in case of low
voltage supply or complete failure of the supply. This protection is therefore is
called No Volt Release ( NVR).
Over load protection:
When the motor is over loaded it draws a heavy current. This heavy current also
flows through the exciting coil of the over load electromagnet ( OLR). The
electromagnet then pulls an iron piece upwar6.ds which short circuits the coils of
the NVR coil. The hold on magnet gets de-energized and therefore the starter
arm returns to the OFF position, thus protecting the motor against overload. L, A
and F are the three terminals of the three point starter.
The connection diagram of the four point starter is shown in fig 3. In a four point
starter arm touches the starting resistance, the current from the supply is
divided into three paths. One through the starting resistance and the armature,
152
EE6411- Electrical Machines Laboratory - I, DGCT
one through the field circuit, and one through the NVR coil. A protective
resistance is connected in series with the NVR coil. Since in a four point starter
the NVR coil is independent of the of the field ckt connection , the d.c
motor may over speed if there is a break in the field circuit. A D.C motor can be
stopped by opening the main switch. The steps of the starting resistance are so
designed that the armature current will remain within the certain limits and will
not change the torque developed by the motor to a great extent.

STAR-DELTA-STARTER
This starter is used in case of motor which are built normally with a
delta connected stator winding. Basically it consist a two way switch that
connected the motor star type of the time of start and delta type under
normal running connection . The advantages of having a star connected
winding the voltage applied over each motor phase is reduced to 1/√ 3
times the normal value and the current to 1/√3 time normal value . But the
starting torque is also reduced by a factor of 1/√3.
ROTOR RHEOSTAT STATOR
This stator is used for starting slip motors in this the stator terminal
are Connected to supply via a variable resistance in series to the stator
circuit .
The controlling resistance is after connected rheostat type with resistance
being gradually cot out as Motor gain speed.
The two advantages of this starting is:-
1) starting current is reduced
2) starting torque is increased due to power factor improvement.
The controlling rheostat may be of speed or contactor type and may
also be manual or auto noted.
The starter also consist of low voltage and over current protective
devices. There is inter locking mechanism for ensuring proper operation of
line contactor and starter.
This method is similar to the starter used for starting dc motor in which
too, the resistance is cut out gradually ones the motor was started running
normally.

three-phase transformer there are three magnetic flux’s in the core differing in
time-phase by 120 degrees.
The standard method for marking three phase transformer windings is to label
the three primary windings with capital (upper case) letters A, B and C, used to
represent the three-phases of RED, YELLOW and BLUE. The secondary windings
are labelled with small (lower case) letters a, b and c. Each winding has two ends
normally labelled 1 and 2 so that, for example, the second winding of the
primary has ends which will be labelled B1 and B2, while the third winding of the
secondary will be labelled c1 and c2 as shown.
Symbols are generally used on a three phase transformer to indicate the type or
types of connections used with upper case Y for star connected, D for delta
connected and Z for interconnected star primary windings, with lower case y, d
and z for their respective secondaries. Then, Star-Star would be labelled Yy,
Delta-Delta would be labelled Dd and interconnected star to interconnected star
would be Zz for the same types of connected
transformers.
We now know that there are four ways in which three single-phase transformers
may be connected together between primary and secondary three-phase
circuits. The configurations are delta-delta, star-star, star-delta, and delta-star.
Transformers for high voltage operation with the star connections has the
advantage of reducing the voltage on an individual transformer, reducing the
number of turns required and an increase in the size of
the conductors, making the coil windings easier and cheaper to insulate than
delta transformers.
The delta-delta connection nevertheless has one big advantage over the star-
delta configuration, in that if one transformer of a group of three should become
faulty or disabled, the two remaining ones will continue to deliver three-phase
power with a capacity equal to approximately two thirds of the original output
from the transformer unit.

In a delta connected ( Dd ) group of transformers, the line voltage, V L is equal to the supply voltage,
VL = VS. But the current in each phase winding is given as: 1/√3 × IL of the line current, where IL is the
line current. One disadvantage of delta connected three phase transformers is that each transformer
must be wound for the full-line voltage, (in our example above 100V) and for 57.7 per cent, line
current. The greater number of turns in the winding, together with the insulation between turns,
necessitate a larger and more expensive coil than the star connection. Another disadvantage with delta
connected three phase transformers is that there is no “neutral” or common connection.
In the star-star arrangement ( Yy ), (wye-wye), each transformer has one terminal connected to a
common junction, or neutral point with the three remaining ends of the primary windings connected
to the three-phase mains supply. The number of turns in a transformer winding for star connection is
57.7 per cent, of that required for delta connection.
The star connection requires the use of three transformers, and if any one transformer becomes fault
or disabled, the whole group might become disabled. Nevertheless, the star connected three phase
transformer is especially convenient and economical in electrical power distributing systems, in that a
fourth wire may be connected as a neutral point, ( n ) of the three star connected secondaries as
shown. The voltage between any line of the three-phase transformer is called the “line voltage”, V L,
while the voltage between any line and the neutral point of a star connected transformer is called the
“phase voltage”, VP. This phase voltage between the neutral point and any one of the line connections
is 1/√3 × VL of the line voltage.
FULL VOLTAGE OR DIRECT –ON-LINE STARTING
When full voltage is connected across the stator terminals of an induction motor, large current is
drawn by the windings. This is because, at starting the induction motor behaves as a short circuited
transformer with its secondary, i.e. the rotor separated from the primary, i.e. the stator by a small air-
gap. At starting when the rotor is at standstill, emf is induced in the rotor circuit exactly similar to the
emf induced in the secondary winding of a transformer. This induced emf of the rotor will circulate a
very large current through its windings. The primary will draw very large current from the supply
mains to balance the rotor ampere-turns. To limit the stator and rotor currents at starting to a safe
value, it may be necessary to reduce the stator supply voltage to a low value. If induction motors are
started direct-on-line such a heavy starting current of short duration may not cause harm to the motor
since the construction of induction motors are rugged. Other motors and equipment connected to the
supply lines will receive reduced voltage. In industrial installations, however, if a number of large
motors are started by this method, the voltage drop will be very high and may be really objectionable
for the other types of loads connected to the system. The amount of voltage drop will not only be

dependent on the size of the motor but also on factors like the capacity of the power supply system,
the size and length of the line leading to the motors etc. Indian Electricity Rule
restricts direct on line starting of 3 phase induction motors above 5 hp.
An auto transformer starter consists of an auto transformer and a switch as shown in the fig. When the
switch S is put on START position, a reduced voltage is applied across the motor terminals. When the
motor picks up speed, say to 80 per cent of its mornal speed, the switch is put to RUN position. Then
the auto-transformer is cut out of the circuit and full rated voltage gets applied across the motor
terminals.

The circuit dia in the fig is for a manual auto-transformer starter. This can be made push button
operated automatic controlled starter so that the contacts switch over from start to run position as the
motor speed picks up to 80% of its speed. Over-load protection relay has not been shown in the
figure. The switch S is air-break type for small motors and oil break type for large motors. Auto
transformer may have more than one tapping to enable the user select any suitable starting voltage
depending upon the conditions. Series resistors or reactors can be used to cause voltage drop in them
and thereby allow low voltage to be applied across the motor terminals at starting. These are cut out
of the circuit as the motor picks up speed.
