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

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
