Best Answer

A soft start is a starter that bring a motor from the starting point of a slow speed in to a multiple speed that can be programmed in the starter

Imagine you have a big plant in your factory, the voltage will go down/up when the plant start/stop, cause the sharp start/stop

The soft starter is controlling AC motor in soft start/stop to eliminate such problems.

Main function is temporarily reduce the load and torque at the starting period by reducing voltage applied to the motor by means of thyristor or SCR .

Most of the motors are usually controlled by the soft starters which usually trip frequently. One of the steps in find why the soft starter has tripped is looking at the motor circuit protector rating.


Soft starter for a dc motor?

It is an advanced power electronic device to start the motor with a very smooth starting curve. It is next generation starter compared to DOL or star Delta starter


What device may be wired into the starting circuit of a motor to improve the starting torque?

I assume a 3 phase, AC induction motor. A star delta starter or a soft starter can be used. A soft starter is better compared to a star delta starter, but it is more expensive.

Which is better inverter or soft starter?

An inverter is just a device to invert one form of electrical power supplied to its input into another form of electrical power as its output. A soft starter may be included into an inverter design, its function is just to provide temporary power to the inverter until it gets started. After that the soft starter is disabled, usually by a diode feedback link.

Can you use star delta starter and soft starter in to same motor?

Probably. More importantly, why would you want to? The Star/Delta starting method is used to minimize motor starting current, just like a soft starter. Use one or the other. There's no good reason to use both, it will just make things more complicated.
