Why are the HV motors are connected in star connection?

Answer Posted / pjs raju

In Delta connected winding full line voltage(equal to phase
voltage) is applied on each phase so stator current would
be higher (root 3 times more than star connections) SO


In Star connected HT Motors , stator applied phase voltage
reduced by root 3 times so Current would be reduced and
motor is better protected and low consumption losses.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
