what is the working principle of soft-starter & how it diff. from VFD ?????????..

Answer / phanindra kumar .m

A softstarter is replica of a star-delta starterin which
starting current is controlled by reducing voltage using ac
voltage controller for smooth starting.As Ac voltage
controllers are not suitable for speed control.So,soft
starters are mainly used for starting purpose only.(since
in Ac voltage controller,frequency is fixed,only voltage
has to be varied.Also,It produces predominant harmonics
into the system.
Where as by using VFD,we can control both voltage and
frequency,so speed control is possible above and below Ns.

Answer / mehul.soni

A soft starter is similury of DOL & Star-Delta starter.
A soft starter does control for starting current.
Where as by using VFD,we can control both voltage and
frequency,so speed control is possible above and below Ns.

what is the working principle of soft-starter & how it diff. from VFD ?????????..

Answer / alfred salazar

The VFD works on the principle that the AC line voltage is converted to a DC voltage. This DC voltage is then inverted back to a pulsed DC whose RMS value simulates an AC voltage. The output frequency of this AC voltage normally varies for 0 up to the AC input line frequency. On certain applications the frequency may actually go above the line frequency. Though high performance current regulated AC drives capable of
operating in “torque mode” are available, the more prevalent volts per hertz drive is addressed. While Soft-starter, For induction motors, the starting torque is approximately proportional to the square of the starting current drawn from the line. This starting current is proportional to the applied voltage. So the torque can also be considered to be approximately proportional to the applied voltage. By adjusting voltage during starting, the current drawn by the motor and the torque produced by the motor can be reduced and controlled. Operation of Soft starters, Timing of when to turn on the SCR’s is the key to controlling the voltage output of a soft starter. During the starting sequence the logic of the soft starter determines when to turn on the SCR’s. It does not turn on the SCR's at the point that the voltage goes from negative to positive, but waits for some time after that. This is known as “phasing back” the SCR's. The point that the SCR’s are turned on is set or programmed by what is called either initial torque, initial current or current limit setting.
The input voltage to the soft starter is the same as the VFD. The result of phasing back the SCR’s is a non-sinusoidal reduced voltage at the terminals of the motor. Since the motor is inductive and the current lags the voltage, the SCR stays turned on and conduct until the current goes to zero. This is after the voltage has gone negative.
