Soft starters are motor control devices designed to limit inrush current and mechanical stress when starting or stopping electric motors. By gradually ramping up voltage at startup and reducing it smoothly at shutdown, they protect motors, couplings and driven machinery from shock loading and unnecessary wear.
Unlike variable frequency drives (VFDs) which vary motor speed continuously, soft starters are ideal for fixed-speed applications where controlled acceleration and deceleration are required – such as in pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. They improve reliability, extend motor life, and reduce energy demand during startup.
