What is a soft start?

Answer Posted / sharma

To Limit the staring current,voltage supplied will be gradually increased during every start up of the electrical device(ie.Induction motors) and attain full voltage

The following settings are available in the soft start unit which needs to be set

a)starting torque b)accelerating time and c)stop time

Is This Answer Correct ?    0 Yes 0 No

3 shows a 415 V, 3-phase generator supplying a 3-phase 415/110 V transformer. Draw the individual and combined impedance diagrams to a base of 10 kVA. Determine the system fault kVA and the fault currents at the 415 V and 110 V busbars for short circuit faults on the transformer input or output terminals. Work in p.u. values of impedances.
