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.
