φ = switchover current factor = switchover current peak/starting current peak
The switchover current factor has a theoretical maximum value of 2.
Example measurements:
Favorable circuit: φ = 0.8
Unfavorable circuit: φ = 1.37
Note
See the main and control circuit wiring designs below; these depict the circuit diagrams for
contactor assemblies for star-delta (wye-delta) start with clockwise and counterclockwise
rotation according to the preferred wiring.
Main circuit
The diagram below shows the preferred main circuit wiring for a star-delta circuit, clockwise
and counterclockwise rotation.
