what do these terms really mean and what are their advantages?
Anybody run across some good on-line info on this subject?

The term "star-delta" usually refers to a starting configuration for a 3 phase motor. The motor starter applies a "star" (wye) during the initial energization of the motor. After a period of time, the starter switches over to the "delta" configuration.
