close transition ensures that transition from star to delta smooth and avoids a situation as in open transition when motor is disconnected and then full voltage comes on.If the incoming voltage is in Phase with Back Emf motor can be subjected to high voltage stresses and stator winding can be damaged if not properly secured.
stator can be connected either in star or delta .if in star 400 V and in Delta 600V
