Research of current distribution by phases in asynchronous electric motor with a combined winding by K. V. Martynov, L. A. Panteleeva, D. A. Vasiliev, E. V. Dresvyannikova

“…The results of the study showed that in an asynchronous motor with a combined winding, in which the real ratio of the active resistances of the «delta» and «star» is less than the theoretical one, the current is not proportionally distributed over the phases. The most preferred circuit for switching on a thermal relay is one in which its main contacts are connected to the «delta» phases, and the thermal relay must be three-pole.…”
