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.

I have a small system with two motors that are running on 380 vac, 60 hz. These motors are expensive and I usally get them from Brazil. I am adding another motor to the system, but I want to purchase a 480 vac, 60 hz motor to use. It will be on a VFD that is rated fro 380 thru 480. Is this posible and will I have to use a larger motor and derate it?

In our plant we have installed new MCC with ELR and CBCT which is detecting some leakage current in the system but it leading to some confusion when to check that in which feeder which is drawing current we put off the whole panel itself but still CBCT detecting some leakage current so can anybody ans me , where i am going wrong or how to detect whether its actual leakage or CBCT malfunctioning.
