Generally the
AC Electrical drives connection depends on the connected load and fault level available at the power source. Moreover, if the load at starting is likely to be High and the Short current level of the source is reasonable, DELTA connection is recommended. otherwise a starting means to be adopted that includes Star/Delta configuration to reduce the staring current for a while (about 15s).
For pumps, type of pump, size of Motor ,,etc to be considered.
However,for small pumps direct on line (star) may be rquired, for other star/delta is required( Motor Start for 15s with star connection, thereafter to delta in running conditions).
