Soft starters are devices that are used to protect motors from large current fluctuation or inrush. The current inrush or spikes affect the performance of the medium and low voltage motors. Soft starters help in a smooth start and stop functionality of motors, which in turn increases the motors work life and the overall efficiency of the motors. The starting time for motors depends on the initial load, inertia, and torque. As in most cases, the starting current is higher than the rated operational current of the motors, it becomes essential for having a proper motor control center (MCC) in place, which can provide an adequate supply of current/voltage for the smooth functioning of the motors. There are different techniques used for motor control. Based on the motor power range, application, torque, and speed of the motors, different devices are used to create a smooth stop and start function for the motors.
