Description

CDT6-ST Star-Delta Motor Starting Timers

CDT6-ST controls the timed transition from star to delta in motor starting circuits. Separate knob settings provide a 0.1s to 10min star interval t1 and a 0.1–1s transition interval t2. The relay provides two changeover contacts in an 18mm-wide housing for 35mm DIN rail mounting.

At power-on, the star output closes for t1. It then opens, followed by the t2 transition gap before the delta output closes. Select the supply and contact version to match the starter control circuit. The application diagram shows the timer operating the star/delta contactor sequence.

Star-to-Delta Sequence

Supply Un starts the sequence. Contact 15–18 is the star output for t1; after it opens, both timed NO outputs remain open during t2. Contact 25–28 then closes for delta operation while supply remains present.

Starter Circuit and Mounting Dimensions

CDT6-ST two-contact relay symbol and complete star-delta motor starter application circuit with three contactors
Supply terminals are A1/A2. The two changeovers use 15/16/18 and 25/26/28. In the application example, KM1 is the main contactor, KM3 the star contactor and KM2 the delta contactor. The control circuit includes start/stop, self-holding and cross-interlock contacts; the timer's NO outputs sequence the star and delta coils.
CDT6-ST enclosure dimensions and three adjustment knobs for star interval and transition gap
Overall enclosure dimensions are 90mm × 18mm × 65mm, with 31mm and 19mm upper side-profile sections. Use the dedicated relay connection symbol and unit markings for terminal assignments.

The selection document lists CCC with GB/T14048.5 and CE with EN60947-5-1; certificate document numbers are available from CNTD. Match the timer supply and the contactor coil load to their applicable ratings.

The manufacturer requires specially designed equipment and written confirmation for high reliability energy systems, applications involving personal safety or major property risk, harsh or outdoor environments, fire or explosion risks, and military or aerospace use.
