Description:

• A soft starter is a device that starts motors with less power at startup. Soft Starters adjust the amount of current delivered to the motor, allowing the AC induction motor to accelerate in smaller steps, requiring less current than a typical motor starting.
• Because of the lower voltage, torque is also reduced, resulting in a soft/easy start.
• During the start-up phase, a Soft Starter constantly regulates the voltage supply to a three-phase motor.
• This decreases mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as well as electrodynamic stress on the attached power cables and electrical distribution network, hence increasing the system's lifespan.
