A soft starter gradually increases voltage to the motor during start-up, reducing the current surge and mechanical shock.
Why Starting Current Matters
Large motors draw high current at start, which stresses the supply and the mechanical drive train.
How Soft Starters Help
The ramp reduces the starting surge, protecting windings, belts and electrical systems.
Soft Starter vs VSD
Soft starters only manage starting, while variable speed drives also control running speed and save energy.
