Answer / ganesan.n
Softstarter is a Starter setup made by thyristors.
By varying the firing angle we can reduce the starting
current as we do in traditional starters.

Answer / george
soft stater is a kind of motor starter to reduce starting current of a motor. it softly start the motor until the motor operate at his normal RPM.

Answer / prakash gokhale
Because in tradition resistance type starter at the time of
starting the motor jerks produced, while in soft starter
motor startes sfotly without producing jerks. Also the
voltage is lower then the traditional starters.

Answer / jeevan
soft starter is used to reduce the starting current by controlling the applied voltage with the use of thyristors connected in antiparallel. but speed cannot be controlled as of VFD.
once the full voltage applied at certain acceleration period, bypass contactor would be energized to avoid thyristor drop during operation.

for 5KW resistive load can anyone please suggest me whether to go for UPS/Inverter or Generator depending upon cost calulations
We have 2 Nos. Transformer with the capacity of 2000KVA and 1250 KVA and currently using only one 2000KVA T/R during operational hours while non- operational hous 1250 KVA T/R also used to reduce T & D losses. Similarly, 2 capacitor bank of 500KVAR and 300 KVAR also installed to balance reactive power. Now problem is around 1000 KW load PF is not maintaning 0.99 as 350 KVAR capacitor is in healty condtion. Now the PF is maintain 0.95 to 0.96.
