SDT, star-delta timers - DANFOSS INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Star-delta timers, also known as star-delta transition timers or motor starting timers, are specialized time-delay relays designed to control the switching sequence from star (wye) to delta configuration in three-phase induction motors. These devices manage the critical transition period, typically adjustable from 0.1 to 100 seconds, ensuring smooth motor acceleration and reducing inrush current. Key technical parameters include rated operational voltage (e.g., 24-240 V AC/DC), contact configuration (e.g., 2 CO or 1 NO + 1 NC), and mounting type (DIN rail or panel). The Danfoss SDT series offers high precision and reliability, with features like LED status indication and wide ambient temperature tolerance (-25°C to +55°C).

These timers are primarily used in motor control centers (MCCs), industrial automation panels, and pump or compressor control systems. They are essential for applications requiring reduced starting current, such as conveyor belts, fans, crushers, and HVAC systems. In environments where high inertia loads are present, star-delta timers prevent mechanical stress and electrical disturbances. They are also common in water treatment plants, mining operations, and manufacturing facilities where three-phase motors are prevalent.

The Danfoss SDT series includes models like SDT-A (adjustable timing range 0.1-10 seconds) and SDT-B (1-100 seconds), each with specific part numbers such as 080G0011 or 080G0012. These timers typically feature a compact housing for DIN rail mounting and are available with screw or spring-cage terminals. The product code often follows a pattern like SDT-XXXX, where XXXX denotes the timing range and voltage variant. Accessories like adapter sockets or sealing covers are also available for enhanced protection.
