What is a Soft Starter

A Soft Starter reduces current and mechanical stress during motor start-up by gradually increasing voltage.

When to use it

  • In pumps.
  • In fans.
  • In conveyor belts.
  • In applications where a smoother start-up is required.

What it does not do

It does not continuously regulate speed like an inverter. Its primary role is to ensure a smooth start and, in certain applications, a smooth stop.
