Autotransformer & part winding
Autotransformer HOA
An autotransformer starter reduces inrush
current by using a transformer in the line just
ahead of the motor to step down the voltage
applied to the motor terminals. By reducing
the voltage, the current drawn from the line is
reduced during start-up.
When the setting time on the timer has
expired, the autotransformer is bypassed.
The 1S contactor drops out, the run contactor
closes, and the 2S contactor opens, proving
full voltage to the motor.
The ABB autotransformer starter is a closed
transition type, meaning that the motor
remains connected to the line during the entire
acceleration period.
The transformer has three taps which provide
50%, 65% and 80% of full line voltage. At
delivery, the transformer is connected to the
65% tap; the inrush current will be reduced to
42% of normal; and the starting torque will be
reduced to 42%.
The autotransformer starter can be used for
any squirrel-cage motor.
Part winding STOP-START
The part winding starter reduces inrush
current by using two different sets of windings
in the motor. Therefore, part winding starters
can be used only with motors having stator
windings divided into two equal parts with the
terminals of each part available for external
connection.
The part winding starter consists of two
across the line starters and a timer. The
frst starter is used to connect one winding
of the motor across the line. The starting
current from one winding will be about
50% of the starting current if both windings
were connected. The starting torque is
correspondingly 50%.
Because the starting torque is so low and
will not increase until the second winding
is connected, the motor may not begin to
accelerate. Therefore, the time delay for the
second winding to be energized should not be
more than 4 seconds.
When the second winding is energized, the
inrush current will increase depending upon
the speed of the motor when the second
winding is energized.

Wye-delta
Wye-delta, open transition STOP-START
The wye-delta open transition starter starts the motor by closing the S and 1M contactors which energize the windings in wye. The inrush current in
wye is reduced to 33% of what it would be if the motor was started with an across the line starter.
The starting time in wye is adjustable with a timer. After the elapsed time, the S contactor opens which closes the 2M contactor; there is a short
period (about 50ms) when the motor is not energized; and then the motor runs full voltage in delta.
A wye-delta starter requires a wye-delta wound motor with all six leads terminated outside the motor housing.
Wye-delta, closed transition STOP-START
The wye-delta closed transition starter works the same way as the open transition wye-delta starter except the closed transition version utilizes
a set of resistors during the transition from start to run (wye to delta connection). These resistors eliminate the open circuit and prevent transient
currents.
