Does a star delta timer rely on the breaking of the retaining contacts on the star contactor side?

The N.C. (timed open) contacts in the star delta timer energize the star contactor's coil when the system is energized. At the same instant the system is energized, the timer starts to time down the required time which lets the motor get up to speed in the star configuration. When the timer reaches the set point time, a second set of N.O. (timed closed) contacts close the delta contactor's coil and open the N.C. timed contacts of star contactor's coil. The motor now runs in the delta configuration. When the system is de energized the timer contact's reset to its de energized state.


What is the purpose of a timer wired into the compressor contactor control circuit on a refrigeration system?

What is the difference between main contactor and axualiary contactor?
