Why Choose PowerMax Series — Star Delta?
What actually matters when you put this on your line
Reduced Starting Current
Star-Delta switching lowers inrush current at start-up, protecting windings, cabling and upstream breakers.
Digital Monitoring
A digital display and settings make it easier to read status and adjust cut-offs without repeatedly opening the panel.
Multiple Motor Protections
Built-in protection against single phasing, reverse phasing, phase unbalance cutoff, over voltage protection reduces avoidable motor failures.
Wide HP Range
Covers 7.5 - 125 HP, so one series can standardise across multiple motor sizes on site.
Built for Industrial & Pump Applications
Designed for the duty cycles seen in pumps, compressors, HVAC systems and general industrial motor loads.
Custom Panel Manufacturing Support
Subtech can adapt enclosure size, ratings and add-ons to project-specific requirements on request.
Rust-Resistant, Field-Ready Enclosure
Powder-coated GI/GPSP enclosures are built for Indian site conditions — dusty factory floors, outdoor pump houses and agricultural sheds alike.
Backed by Subtech's Sales & Service Network
25+ years of panel manufacturing and a pan-India dealer network stand behind every unit.
How PowerMax Series — Star Delta Works
Step-by-step operating sequence
- 1
Motor Starts in Star Connection
On the start command, the contactor connects the motor windings in Star, limiting inrush current.
- 2
Starting Current Is Reduced
The Star connection drops the line current to roughly a third of a direct-on-line start, reducing stress on the motor and supply.
- 3
Timer/Control Logic Monitors the Transition
An internal timer (or digital control logic on automatic models) tracks how long the motor has been running in Star.
- 4
Starter Switches to Delta Connection
Once the motor has picked up speed, the panel switches the winding connection to Delta for full running torque.
- 5
Motor Runs at Full Load
In Delta, the motor receives full line voltage across each winding and runs at rated output.
- 6
Protection System Monitors Faults Continuously
Single phasing, reverse phasing, voltage and overload protection continue monitoring the motor throughout the run.

Common Problems This Solves
Real failure modes on the motor side, and how this panel prevents them
High Starting Current
Star-Delta switching reduces inrush current at start-up compared to a direct-on-line start, easing stress on the motor, cabling and upstream breakers.
Motor Overheating
Sustained overload, phase and voltage faults raise winding temperature over time; the panel's built-in protections cut power before heat damages the insulation.
Single Phasing
Detects the loss of any one phase and cuts power before the motor overheats or burns its windings.
Reverse Phase Sequence
Checks phase sequence before allowing the motor to start, preventing motors and pumps from running backward.
Voltage/Phase Imbalance
Trips the motor when the three phases drift too far apart in voltage, which otherwise causes uneven heating in the windings.
Over-Voltage Spikes
Cuts power when supply voltage rises above the safe band, protecting insulation and electronics.
Under-Voltage / Low Supply
Cuts power when voltage drops too low, preventing the motor from drawing excess current to compensate.
Motor Overload
Monitors running current and trips before sustained overload can overheat the motor.
Short Circuit / Wiring Fault
MCB/MCCB protection isolates the circuit immediately on a short circuit, protecting the panel and wiring.
Dry Running (Pump Losing Prime)
Optional dry-run protection stops the motor when there's no load/flow, preventing pump damage from running dry.
Frequent Tripping From Wrong Model Selection
Use the selection guide above to match your motor's HP and relay range to the correct reference number — an undersized relay setting is a common cause of nuisance tripping.
