How can we start within the feeder limit?

The same pump, from rest to operating speed. Compare direct-on-line and star-delta starting.

Principle, assumptions and limits

Reduced model with interpolated torque/speed and current/speed curves; J = 4 kg·m², J dω/dt = Te − Tl. Centrifugal load with friction: Tl/Tn = 0.08 + 0.92 × load × (n/1470)². In star, torque and line current are one third of delta values at the same speed. A 0.2 s open transition has no electromagnetic switching spike. F1: dθ/dt = ((I/In)² − θ)/120; trip at θ = 1.2. Dimensionless image displayed as %, not real temperature or an IEC trip class. After a trip, power is removed and the motor coasts. Independent cold trials: no hot restarting, weak supply or short-circuit model. Curves are illustrative, not identified from a manufacturer motor.
