TECHNICAL DETAILS:-
In any industry, the electrical motor accounts for 55% to 60% of the electrical energy consumption Induction motors operate efficiently as long as they are loaded up from 60% to 85% loading. When these motors are operated below 50% loading, the Efficiency and Power Factor is very low. During lightly loaded condition (less than 50% loading), it is preferable to run motors in Star mode instead of Delta mode, and this reduces your Electrical Bill.
ADVANTAGES:-
Voltage across winding reduces to 58% of rated voltage and line current reduces to 1/3 rd . Thus reduction in iron and copper losses, hence Less Power Consumption, Reduced Power Bills.
Improvement in Power Factor and Efficiency
Energy saving from 5% to 35% possible depending on percentage of loading of motor (No Load to 50% loading.
At 50% load minimum saving and at no load maximum saving).
Decrease in line current which gives additional savings in cable losses and losses in switch gears.
No need of changing motor to lower KW rating.
APPLICATION:-
Under loaded equipment like pumps, blowers, agitators, ball and roll mills etc., or In process where load varies at different stages (3 phase machine s only).in all the Industries.
Particularly in Textile spinning machines – Blow room Beaters, Carding cylinder motors (all type), Ring frame main motor (LG 5/1), and Humidification plant motors (Exhaust and Supply Air Fans).

BEE Guidelines on ENERGY SAVING in Under-Loaded Star-Delta Connected Motors .

Fig. shows the Efficiency, Power Factor, Speed and Current vs. Motor Shaft Load characteristics in both Delta and Star connections of the Motor.
'In Delta-Connection', the line voltage is impressed on each motor phase winding. Whereas in ‘star connection', line voltage divided by _/ 3 is impressed on each phase winding.
The vertical dark band (40 to 50% loads) is the ‘Changeover' region, which differentiates possible Delta operating zone (right hand side) and Star operating zone (left hand side).
Observing the efficiency curves, it is clear that at light loads (30% or less); operation of motor in Star connection can save energy, as motor efficiency is significantly better.
