We use 6.6 kV Squirrel Cage Induction Motor 4pole 6.6kV star connected in our blast hole drill application. The motor is a 500 hp motor, driving an air compressor at one end and set of hydraulic pump on the other side. The motor is started using Auto Transformer starter connected as Korndorffer Starter(closed transition). We find flash over taking place while switching from 80% tap connection to 100%. The flash occurs at Star contactor of the vacuum contactor or line to ground in the contactor. Can some one explain any such experience and possible solution.
