Working Principle of Motor Soft Starter

 
 
01
 

The basic principle behind a soft starter is that it allows a slow flow of current to an electric motor. It does this by reducing the torque to control one to three-phase motors. Each soft starter will also have thyristors and silicon-controlled rectifiers that work jointly to reduce the power flow to the motor.

 
02
 

Thyristors are fast-acting semiconductors that can control the motor’s power without changing its frequency. The silicon-controlled rectifiers, known as SCRs for short, have four terminals that allow for a solid-state controlling of the power current to the electric motor.

 
03
 

By slowly feeding power to an electric motor during startup in a linear fashion, a soft starter is a great asset to ensure that the motor does undergo excessive strain or overheating. Without this starter device, the motor could experience a sudden increase in voltage, resulting in a power burst that permanently damages the motor. Unfortunately, this particular situation could also lead to permanent damage to the equipment.

 
04
 

Soft starters are specifically constructed to allow users to control any electric motor’s starting and running process. This device has settings for both on and off statuses. During off status, it will stop the current flow to the motor completely.

 
05
 

This highly useful device will also allow users to input voltage parameters to ensure that the motor only receives up to a particular voltage threshold. This goes a long way in better protecting a motor from unwanted damage due to excessive current flow.

Application of Motor Soft Starter

 

Fans

Fans are often kept operational for long periods of time, but can also greatly benefit from a smooth, progressive starting phase to help extend their lifespan. This is especially important when the correct operation of a fan is key to preserving food or delicate pieces.

01

Water/liquid pumps

These types of pumps are often damaged due to the strong pressure that builds up in the pipes during starting and stopping. Soft starters can significantly reduce the risk of damage by allowing a controlled increase in pressure.

02

Belts

A sudden, rough start can put undue stress on conveyor or transmission belts and cause them to break or slip out of their guides. A smooth start can ensure that the straps stay in place and last longer, as well as protect the items being carried and other pieces.

03

Electric rotors

Motors such as those used by electric helicopters need soft starters to reduce the great danger of sudden starting or stopping of their rotors.

FAQ

 

Q: What’s the difference between a soft starter and a speed controller?

A: A soft motor starter ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration. A speed controller adjusts motor speed during operation. If your motor runs at a single speed, a soft starter is usually the better choice. It is more practical and cost-effective.

Q: Can the starter extend a motor’s life?

A: Yes. It reduces wear on electrical and mechanical parts. This happens by minimizing stress during startup and stopping. As a result, motors last longer and break down less often.

Q: Is it easy to install a soft starter?

A: Most models are straightforward to install and set up.

Q: Do soft starters save energy?

A: They reduce power peaks at startup. They don’t control energy use during full-speed operation. If energy savings during runtime is a priority, a drive solution may be more suitable.
