Frequency converters and soft starters are two different electrical devices, and there are the following main differences between them.

Ever seen lights dim when a large motor kicks on? That’s the power grid feeling the strain of a hard start. Enter soft starters – the unsung heroes that ease big motors into action smoothly, like a conductor guiding an orchestra.

​Ever wonder how massive industrial motors run at just the right speed without wasting energy? That’s where AC drives (also called VFDs - Variable Frequency Drives) come in. These electronic brainboxes are the secret sauce behind efficient pumps, conveyor belts, and factory equipment.

Soft starter‌ is a motor control device that integrates motor soft start, soft stop, light load energy saving and multiple protection functions. Its main function is to achieve smooth start during motor start-up, reduce the impact of starting current on the power grid and equipment, and adjust the starting parameters according to the load conditions to improve the reliability and service life of the equipment.
