I am currently working on a project that involves a wye-delta motor configuration. The contactors that have been provided are rated for 150HP on the delta side and 125HP on the wye side, but the motor that I am using is a 200HP motor with an FLA of 233A. I am wondering if this is an acceptable configuration or if there are any potential issues that I should be aware of.
I understand that horsepower and amperage ratings are important factors when selecting contactors, but I am not sure if one is more critical than the other in this specific configuration. Additionally, I am not familiar with wye-delta starters and my question may not make complete sense, but I would appreciate any help or guidance on this matter.
Thank you in advance for your expertise and insights!
