In the motor starting and running system, online soft starter is the core device for achieving smooth motor starting, and starting smoothness and protection function are its core keywords. It can effectively reduce the impact current when the motor starts, protect the equipment components, and improve the stability of the motor operation, which is of great significance to extending the life of the equipment and ensuring production continuity.
The core function of the online soft starter is to control the motor starting process by means of gradual voltage change. When the motor starts, it does not apply the rated voltage instantly, but adjusts the internal power electronic components to gradually increase the voltage from low to high until it reaches the rated value. This starting method can limit the starting current to 2-3 times the rated current, which is much lower than the 6-8 times impact current during direct starting, thereby reducing the mechanical impact and electrical stress on the motor windings, bearings and other components, and avoiding equipment loss caused by frequent starting.
In addition to smooth starting, the online soft starter also has a wealth of protection functions, which builds multiple lines of defense for motor operation. It can monitor the current, voltage, temperature and other parameters of the motor in real time. When abnormal conditions such as overload, overcurrent, phase loss, overheating, etc. occur, it will quickly cut off the power supply or adjust the output to prevent motor damage. At the same time, its built-in lightning protection and anti-interference modules can reduce the impact of external power fluctuations on the motor, ensure that the motor can still maintain a stable operating state in a complex power grid environment, and reduce production interruptions caused by equipment failure.
The online soft starter can not only improve the safety of the equipment, but also indirectly improve the energy utilization efficiency. Due to the reduction of starting current, the energy waste at the moment of starting is reduced, which is especially suitable for motor equipment that needs to be started frequently. In terms of adaptability, it is compatible with AC motors of different powers and types. Whether it is a motor of a fan, a water pump or a conveyor belt, it can be precisely controlled by the soft starter. This wide adaptability enables it to play an important role in many fields such as industrial production lines, building water supply, and agricultural irrigation.
