What is a Soft Starter? (For Absolute Beginners)

I love your explanations but I will be happy to subscribe to your electrical instrumentations videos

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Can you use a soft start on a home air conditioner

Basic electronics, they always say "what is the worst thing you can do to your [insert electric equipment here]? Answer: Turn it on.

I have a 120vac water circulation pump I want to put a soft starter on.

I have a 10 Hp electric motor that uses 47 RLA's the torque I'm trying to overcome is substantial. Think a soft start would help more than say a hard start kit?

Really well described. I have bought a 15kW Sawmill and I have bought a soft start with several different start modes. In my setting where I would like to start the motor without destroying the 25A fuse (3P 400V) I have 2 settings to choose from, Either:1. current limiting setting or 2.Voltage Ramp setting. But Im not sure which one to choose for my scenario, what do you think?

what do you mean by DOL? please☺

Just installed one on my Central A/C's outside condenser to reduce inrush amps. Later I will get a whole house generator, this was the reason I installed it. My inrush amps went from 120A to 40A. It learned how much it needed to start and reduced over a few starts. 120A, 80A, 60A, 40A Something like that.

Can vfd work as a soft starter?

Great Video

Such a great channel .

Nice video... It's educating. However I have a question; which capacity of Softstarter would be suitable for a particular Motor. Example, I have a 55kw electric motor, how many kw or amperage Softstarter would be suitable for that application

thx!!!!

Thank you for your efforts!

O.k. it is good.

I did an industrial practice and found a soft starter circuit on a cooling tower application

I'm planning a whole house backup generator which includes running my 3 ton Air Conditioner. The problem WAS my AC was blowing my budget because it would require an 8000 watt minimum generator to handle the initial startup of the unit. I found this soft starter and installed it on my AC (took about 10min.) and now I can run my entire house on a 3500 watt generator. Saved me $$

The graphics and the explanation used to explain this is is i guess the easiest to understand and apply ... Love this platform 👍

Thank you so much, very informative ❤️❤️

Suprised they don't build these things into most ac units,etc

Appreciating the lesson. Thank you

The pedagogical approach in your videos is exemplary

Existen cursos em português da Real parts ?

As the terminal box is only at the fixed side then why you shown the input lines connected from different place for DOL and Soft starter as compared to star- delta..?

Have you got any PLC online course

You guys have the best explanations♥🙏

Will the motor links have to be setup in delta with the Siemens Soft starter?

Normally how many additional years will you add up to the life of the motor when using a soft starter compared with a full voltage starter?

First time subscriber, im really impressed by your videos and explanations. Straight to the point. Bravo👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Thank you 🙏.

Would we push so many of electrons to do the jobs that earth could do without even use of force? For example instead of using large motor to run the conveyor, we could use sensitive hydraulic balancing to tilt the conveyor and let the load and gravity play its way to destination or use gravity to fill the tank instead of pumping ?... The same concept for all one way road construction with 1 degree downward slope and reduce cost on transportation fuel or force on city road and streets design

I want my air conditioner to start quieter, would this help? I'm also wondering about whole house capacitor to prevent voltage drops and dimming lights?

Great presentation. Thank you

Your channel deserve more subscribers..

This is more "why you should use a "softstart" rather than how a soft start actually works. Need more info on voltage out to motor over ramp time. How much voltage is applied? what is the starting voltage? how much does the voltage increase per ramp time set point? Does the voltage ramp up or is it gated?

What is the difference between soft stater and vfd

Where can we buy soft starter

Muito bom o vídeo Se fosse legendado seria excelente para os surdos

I didn’t started watching yet but I subscribed . Learning to become commercial boiler mechanic

EXCELENTE VIDEO OJALA TODOS SUS VIDEOS TENGAN OPCION DE TRADUCCION

nice video , keep going

Great explanations and examples shown.

bueno los tutoriales
que programa utilizan para los graficos diseño

World top3 widely used Plc systems..
Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi

I build a simple soft starter circuit for use on some of my power tools. The big problem is that I must manually through a switch on the starter itself while the tool's switch is closed. Works great, but a hassle and dangerous. I wish someone came out with a small size retrofit addon kit for saws and other high surge current motors that don't NEED to have balls out instant starting. Be great for construction worksites running off a generator.

Softstarters are the work of the Devil. For most applications, and especially high inertia starting, a Star Delta is grossly superior.
For pumping applications, they do avoid shock loads, but at the price of cooking the motor windings.
Generally either D.O.L., Star Delta, or Variable Speed Drives are grossly superior.
I have never had an application where a soft starter is a preferred option.

Hello ,
Please how do you make your animation ?
thank you for advance

I´m from Brazil and i will make a schoolwork about Soft Starter
