Running a Three Phase AC Induction Motor on Single Phase Supply Source Voltage

In some strange occurrences, you may sometimes end up in certain emergency cases where you are caught unexpectedly in urgent situations that would demand immediate action. One of such unexpected situation in the field of industrial technology is the absence of three phase power source to supply a three phase motor, where the only available means is the most commonly found single phase power supply voltage.

Why does a 3 phase AC induction motor have to be connected in star delta (or wye delta) configuration - What is the significance and advantage of using star and delta in motor connection

Three phase AC induction motors are known to have a very high start-up surge current. The most practical approach to reduce the high start-up inrush current is by firstly implementing a star (or wye) configuration to the motor's 6 leads wiring terminal during the start-up run of the motor. When the motor slowly picks up speed and a significant decrease in the amount of current is achieved then the motor's 6 leads wiring terminal is then reconfigured to a delta connection.
