What are types of 3 phase induction motors winding Connections
Different Connection of the motor winding:
There are several ways of connecting a three phase motor winding . The most common ones 3-phase connection are:
1) delta(∆)-connection
2) star (Y)-connection.
3-phase connection of induction motor winding
According to the IEC 60034-8 standard, the windings of a 3-phase standard motor can be connected in either a star (Y)-connection or in a delta (∆)-connection.
Star (Y)-connection:
By short-circuiting the terminals W2, U2 and V2 and connecting the mains to W1, U1 and V1, you get a star (Y)-connection.

Delta (∆)-connection:
When you connect the end of a phase to the start of another phase you get a delta (∆)-connection
i.e W2-U1, U2-V1, V2-W1 as shown in figure by connecting main supply to U1 V1 W1
