Anybody wishing to find out more about soft starters will find everything they need to know in ABB's soft starter handbook.
It begins with a general introduction to motor types and starting methods before going on to explain how the use of a soft starter to provide a gradual, controlled increase of voltage - and hence a smooth increase in motor speed - can reduce mechanical stress on couplings, gearboxes and bearings and improve motor life.
The handbook provides advice on how to select the right soft starter for specific applications and ensure they are correctly adjusted and concludes with a useful glossary of terms.
The soft starter handbook can be downloaded free of charge from the ABB website.
