Explain principle of Soft-starter & how its working???
Answer Posted / boopathiraj.s
Mainly Induction Motor takes 5-6 times of FLC while starting
in DOL mode.So soft starter is used to start the motor for
reducing starting current and smooth starting.Softstarter
which gives the voltage from 30% to 100% percentage of
voltage by certain time(Its in seconds) to the motor.By
means of thyristor softstarter is controlling the
voltage.After 100% voltage reached,the inbuilt DOL bypass
contactor is come into picture.
Advantages of softstarter:Motor life be good,Mechanical
equip life be good.
Disadvantage:It is mainly not applicable for heavy starting
load,Harmonics

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
