Frankly, I stayed out of it because I never heard of "triangle". Is that a common term in motors? Never seen it before.
It is a direct literal translation from some other languages. "Wye/Delta" = "Star/Triangle".

I am trying to figure out how Star got into this conversation. Based on nameplate data, that is a motor that can be run at 2 different voltages, but only in Delta. A picture of the nameplate would help, because there is a lot of confusion here about what this motor actually is.
I am trying to figure, how you want to take Star out of the equation, what pray tell is such a motor you describe.
I can't see any confusion, it is surely a star /delta motor.
I can only go on the information provided:
.
The point is that we don't what we are dealing with. The OP did not give use nameplate data(or data that makes sense).

Pablox- No one, except the OP, is saying that motor exists. He clearly stated both voltages in a delta configuration. Given the 1.7 voltage ratio, it is probably a 12-lead motor.
I wasn't quoting you.
Yes, delta is triangle i.e delta always uses a triangle symbol, same as Y for star
Only logical explanation, is its a standard 3 phase motor which would connect to 380v in a delta configuration and 660 v in a star formation.
something like so:
