What is meant by soft starter used in motors?..

Answer / jeevan

soft starter is used to reduce the starting current by controlling the applied voltage with the use of thyristors connected in antiparallel. but speed cannot be controlled as of VFD.
once the full voltage applied at certain acceleration period, bypass contactor would be energized to avoid thyristor drop during operation.
