Reliable Reduced Voltage Motor Starting
Star delta starters reduce the electrical current drawn during motor start-up by initially connecting the motor windings in a star configuration before automatically switching to delta operation. This controlled starting process helps minimise voltage dips, reduce mechanical shock and improve the longevity of motors and driven equipment.
The integrated rotary isolator provides a safe means of disconnecting the starter during servicing and maintenance, making the Lovato YDSW15230 an excellent choice for industrial applications where both operational reliability and personnel safety are essential.
