Wye Wound Stators
3 lead:
• designed for Across the Line Starts (XL)
• single voltage application
• relatively high inrush current
6 lead:
• designed for part winding (PW) starts
• designed to reduce inrush current
• requires two contactors
• time delay of .5 to 1.5 seconds to fully engage all windings
9 lead:
• can be PW start for low voltage only
• can be XL (cross line) starts
• can be dual voltage
• more adaptable
Note: higher voltage connections requires less current
Example: A dual voltage motor that when fully loaded draws 25 amps on the high voltage connection, when this motor is connected to low voltage the current draw may be 50 amps
