The main tweak was to install an off-the-shelf soft-start circuit to stop the motor banging hard on when the accelerator was pushed.

The EasyStart Flex for residential and commercial HVAC is an advanced and versatile soft starter designed for all sizes of residential a/c units up to six tons (72,000 BTUs).

3D-printed valve system proves the effectiveness of electronics-free soft devices, excelling despite challenges that could disable traditional robots.

A fully integrated soft-start circuit for voltage regulators is presented in this brief. A soft-start strategy based on a linearly ramped-up reference is adopted to prevent massive in-rush currents ...

Using a soft-start method to get motors running can reduce the risk of damage and improve efficiency.

To accomplish this, “soft starts” are recommended (see Diagram 2). Unlike the prior lift-offs shown, a “soft start” provides a gentle introduction of flow before smoothly easing into a proportional ...

Today, we’re comparing Soft Start vs. Easy Start in a head-to-head competition. Summer is the peak of the camping season in most parts of the country. Unfortunately, staying cool during your ...

Soft starters and VFDs both effectively control motors and are efficient users of energy. Determining which technology to use depends on understanding the performance needs of the application. A ...

A soft-start circuit for pulse-width modulation (PWM) AC/DC controller is presented in this paper. The soft-start strategy is based on a stepped reference which is generated by a 5-bit ...
