What is basic difference between Soft Starters And VFD
drives?
Answer Posted / asif mansoori
VFD is a Drive (continuous controlled operation)
Soft Starter is a Starter (for Smooth Starting torque &
current)
VFD changes frequency applied to the motor and changes its
operating speed.
Soft Starter reduces applied voltage to the motor thereby
reducing the starting torque & hence reduced starting
current.
VFD changes both voltage & frequency.
Soft starter only changes voltage at the starting of motor
but doesn't change frequency.

WE know that for Inductor X=2pifL,In DC f=0,then X=0 so,V=IX=0;But In the DC excitation of rotor of AC generator,DC motor field coil which coils are inductor so why does not applying DC voltage short the rotor coil of AC generator and field coil of motor?If it would then DC source might be damaged but it is not happened.

We have a couple of oil tanks at our plant. One of them does not have a lightning arrester installed. My question is it necessary to install an arrestor on every tank or will this particular one be covered by the arrestor installed on the ajdacent tank, Since all the tanks are close to each other. Basically, I want to know that if these arrestors or protection works in a parituclar area of effect or influence. Thanks
