Calculate Size Of DOL and Star-Delta Starter Components

Calculate Size Of DOL and Star-Delta Starter Components

Easy way to calculate motor torque, fuse, CB, OL relay

and contactor
For both DOL and Star-Delta Starter input fields are:
1. System Voltage (V)
2. Phase (1ph/3ph)
3. Type of Motor (single phase, 3-phase induction, synchronous, wound rotor etc.)
4. Motor Size (HP or kW)
5. Motor Code (A, B, C -H)
6. Motor Efficiency (%)
7. Motor RPM
8. System P.F
9. Application of Motor (motor load in household application, hermetic refrigerant comperssor
motor etc.)
According to above inputs, following starters components are calculated:

Motor Torque / Current

Motor Rated Tourque (Full Load)

Motor Rated Tourque (Full Load)
Motor Starting Torque
Lock Rotor Current IL (Min)
Lock Rotor Current IL (Max)
Motor Starting Current
Motor Full Load Current (Line)
Motor Full Load Current (Phase)

Fuse (As per NEC 430-52)

Non-Time Delay Fuse (Max)

Time Delay Fuse (Max)

Circuit Breaker (As per NEC 430-52)

Instantaneous Trip Circuit Breaker (Max)

Inverse Time Circuit Breaker (Max)

Over Load Relay Setting

Relay Min (70% of FLC Phase)

Relay Max (120% of FLC Phase) or
Relay Setting (100% of FLC Line)

Contactor (for DOL starter)

Type of Contactor
Making / Breaking Capacity of Contactor:
Main Contactor (100% of FLC Line):

Contactor (for Star-Delta Starter)

Type of Contactor:
Making / Breaking Capacity of Contactor:
Main Contactor (58% of FLC Line):
Delta Contactor (58% of FLC Line):
Star Contactor (33% of FLC Line):
