Purpose
Soft starters are motor control devices designed to reduce the inrush current and mechanical stress associated with starting electric motors. They gradually ramp up the voltage supplied to the motor, enabling a smooth and controlled acceleration during startup. Once the motor reaches full speed, the soft starter either bypasses itself or continues to manage power flow, depending on the application.
