Why Choose the Lovato YD15230 Star-Delta Starter?
The Lovato YD15230 is a robust star-delta motor starter designed to reduce motor starting current while providing reliable starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. As part of the trusted Lovato L-Starter range, this enclosed starter is ideal for industrial applications where reduced inrush current is essential for larger motors.
Featuring integrated Start and Stop push-button controls, the YD15230 automatically transfers from star to delta operation after the preset starting period. This reduces electrical stress on the supply network while minimising mechanical stress on motors and driven equipment. The durable IP65 insulated enclosure protects the internal components from dust and water ingress, ensuring dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
With a rated motor power of 15 kW, a 28 A operational current and a 230 V AC control coil, the YD15230 is ideal for compressors, pumps, conveyors, fans and other industrial machinery requiring reduced-current motor starting. A compatible thermal overload relay is selected separately and should be set to approximately 58% of the motor full-load current for star-delta operation.
