<![CDATA[The abstract should be written as a the three-phase induction motor in a block ice factory compressor has a high starting current, which can cause voltage drops and disruptions in the electrical power system. This study aims to analyze the starting current of the compressor motor using the Star-Delta method with the aid of ETAP software. The research method involved collecting technical data on the motor, transformer, and electrical distribution system, followed by conducting Motor Acceleration Analysis simulations in ETAP. The results show that the Star-Delta method is able to reduce the starting current compared to the Direct On Line (DOL) method, resulting in more stable system voltage and reduced disruptions in the distribution network. Furthermore, switching from a Star to Delta connection results in momentary current surges that remain within safe limits according to electrical power system standards. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the Star-Delta method in improving the reliability of the electrical system in a block ice factory.]]>
