What is basic difference between Soft Starters And VFD
drives?

Answer Posted / pinias munyongani j

VFD is used to vary the speed of the motor through varying
frequency. Where as a soft starter is used to smoothly
start up a motor. How ever VFDs can also achive smooth
start ups if the ramp up and ramp down times are increased.
Probably the main reason for using the soft starter is that
the cost is relatively lower than that of a VFD.

A powerplant has 8 gensets operating in grid parallel mode. In one genset sometimes there is pf variation and kvar variation. The plant operates in pf mode. When this variation is observed the load is stable, voltage is also stable, freq and genset speed is also stable. How will you check the functioning of pf card. What shall be the ideal output vdc of the pfc, from there it is input to AVR?

I have made a 3 phase thyristor full bridge rectifier. But at the moment it is working only for the half bridge operation. Both the half bridges are on operation separately but when i put it into full bridge operation the oscilloscope output is zero. I rechecked that the pulses are correct for each thyristor. what could be the possible reason for this?
