3 unusual facts about Motor soft starter


Motor soft starter

A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electric motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electrical current surge of the motor during startup.

Electrical soft starters can use solid state devices to control the current flow and therefore the voltage applied to the motor.

They can be connected in series with the line voltage applied to the motor, or can be connected inside the delta (Δ) loop of a delta-connected motor, controlling the voltage applied to each winding.
