Electric Motor Soft Start

Electric Motor Soft Start

Electric motor soft start In urban power grid substations with high fire protection requirements such as petroleum, electromagnetic interference requirements and limited installation site, when the AC asynchronous motor is started under the rated voltage, the initial starting current is too large, which often exceeds many times (generally 5-8 times) of the rated current.

 

What is Soft Start Starter

 

A soft starter is a device used with AC electrical motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electric current surge of the motor during start-up. This reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as well as the electrodynamic stresses on the attached power cables and electrical distribution network, extending the lifespan of the system. It can consist of mechanical or electrical devices, or a combination of both. Mechanical soft starters include clutches and several types of couplings using a fluid, magnetic forces, or steel shot to transmit torque, similar to other forms of torque limiter. Electrical soft starters can be any control system that reduces the torque by temporarily reducing the voltage or current input, or a device that temporarily alters how the motor is connected in the electric circuit.

 

Benefits Of Soft Start Starter

 

Energy Cost Reduction (Peak Demand Charges)
When AC motors start directly at full voltage, the starting current will be up to 8 times of its rated current. When using a Soft Starter, the starting current of the motor is only 2 to 3 times that of its rated current.

 

Improved Power Factor
Soft Starters facilitate power factor correction as a inbuilt feature which improves the Power Factor at all load cycles (and thereby reducing the kVA). When the motor is operating at less than full load, the relative reactive component of current drawn by the motor is redundantly excessive due to magnetising and associated losses. The voltage dependent losses are thus negligible with the load proportional active current component and as a result the power factor also improves side-by-side.

 

Improved Operating Efficiency
Soft Starters enhances motor starting duty by reducing the temperature rise in the stator windings and supply transformer which allows for an increased number of starts per hour (reduced heating of the motors). Soft Starters also allow for easy adjustment of start-up performance (current limit) to suit the specific motor and load (smooth, adjustable acceleration time without the torque/voltage/current transients). It also provides reliable performance if the load characteristics vary between starts (eg. loaded or unloaded starts).

 

Reduced Power Surges
For a motor with a relatively large capacity, the starting current (without a Soft Starter) will cause a sharp drop in the grid voltage and thus affecting the normal operation of other equipment in the power grid. Using a Soft Starter, the voltage fluctuation of the power grid is generally less than 10% (only slightly affects other equipment), thus reducing the burden on the electrical system, equipment, and electrical devices throughout the system.

 

Reduced Torque Transients
As a result of increased loads (due to sudden changes in the direction or magnitude of the torque load), reduced torque transients could significantly decrease the lifespan of a motor. Using a Soft Starter reduces the torque load significantly during start-up and limits the associated problems.

 

Increased life of Contactors
A common issue associated with running an AC motor without a Soft Starter is the need to regularly replace contactors. Using a Soft Starter will reduce or even eliminate the need to replace contactors. It can also reduce the noise associated with contactors during the operation of the motor.

 

Types of Soft Start Starter
 

Primary Resistor
Primary resistors are one of the original soft starters, introduced in the early 1900s. As the name suggests, resistors are involved, one for each of the three current phases. When in place, the resistors resist the current flow during motor start-up, providing a drop in voltage. Once the motor accelerates to the pre-determined point, a timer closes the sets of contacts to remove the resistors from the circuit, allowing full power to the motor.

 

Autotransformer
Autotransformers are one of the most effective soft-starting methods. When the starting current is drawn from the line and must be held to a minimum but maximum starting torque per line amp is necessary, autotransformers are preferred over primary resistors. Rather than relying on resistors, this motor starter utilizes taps on the transformer windings with built-in flexibility to control the power input to the motor. By activating any one of the three taps on the windings, different amounts of current are sent to the motor. Autotransformers are a great power supply that provides current to the motor while keeping voltage low.

 

Part Winding
With the part winding method of soft starter, the motor windings must be divided into two or more separate sets intended for parallel operation. During start-up, power is only applied to one set of windings, but as the motor reaches speed, power is applied to the other set to resume normal running. Windings that are energized this way produce a reduced starting current and torque. Part winding also minimizes voltage drop and excessive heat during start-up.

 

Wye-Delta
A Wye-Delta soft starter can only be used in motors that have connection points to each of the three coil windings, specially wound with six leads for both Delta and Wye connections.The Wye configuration - named such because of its "Y" shape - results in a connection of line voltage that is applied to an electrically larger winding, helping to reduce the line current. After a pre-determined amount of time, the starter electrically switches these windings over to the Delta configuration - named for its resemblance to the Greek "delta" - during which the windings are connected normally, with every winding receiving full voltage.

 

What Are The Various Features of a Soft Start Starter?

Programming

Most modern soft starters come with programming capabilities, allowing users to easily adjust settings and customize their device for optimal performance. This includes being able to set acceleration, deceleration and ramping times, as well as limiting torque profiles, among other things.

 

Components of Soft Start Starter

 

Transistor
The transistor is the core component of the motor soft starter and mainly plays the role of controlling the current. When the motor starts, the transistor adjusts the starting current of the motor through the control circuit, thereby reducing the impact when the motor starts; when the motor is running, the transistor can monitor the operating status of the motor so that the motor is always in normal working condition.

 

Inductance
Inductors are mainly used for filtering and shunting. It can limit the current through impedance, thereby reducing the starting current when the motor starts.

 

Capacitor
Capacitors are mainly used to store charge and balance voltage. It can protect the motor by regulating the storage and release of charge and controlling the current and time when the motor starts.

 

Relay
The relay is the output switching device of the motor soft starter. It can start and stop the motor by controlling the motor to turn on or off the power supply.

 

Control module
The control module is the core control part of the motor soft starter. It can realize intelligent control of the motor by monitoring the operating status of the motor. By analyzing the actual operation of the motor, the control module can adjust the starting current and speed of the motor in a timely manner to ensure the safety and normal operation of the motor.

 

Soft Starters vs Other Motor Starters

 

Soft starters have become increasingly popular due to the wide range of advantages they offer compared to other, conventional motor starters. Motor starters refer to a variety of electrical devices used to start and stop electric motors, either directly or through a switching process such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). Soft starters are implemented in systems where slow-onset torque is desired, while traditional motor starters are generally used in applications that require quick, full-torque startups.

One of the main benefits of using soft starters instead of other motor starters is the amount of current it can draw from a power source. Soft starters draw far less current than standard motor starters, helping reduce energy loss and save energy costs for businesses. For example, when running a large conveyer belt system with lots of motors it might be more efficient and cost-effective to opt for several soft starters instead of one large motor starter.

The other outstanding benefit of soft starters when compared to other motor starters is the smoothness they provide in terms of motor speed control and torque accuracy. Because these devices are not just on/off equipment but instead enable gradual starting, there is far less chance for mechanical overload or damage to the driven equipment under startup or during stopping. This can further help lower operational costs associated with electrical energy consumption, size requirements for bulkier components, and reduced maintenance needs for preventing wear and tear damage.

 

How to Choose Soft Start Starter

 

 

Product Structure
There are three main structures of soft starters: current type, voltage type and pulse type. Among them, the current-type soft starter uses current feedback to control the starting current of the motor, the voltage-type soft starter uses voltage feedback to control the motor's speed and torque, and the pulse-type soft starter uses pulse signals to control the starting and stopping of the motor. 

 

How To Choose Products
When choosing a soft starter, you need to choose based on actual needs. First, you need to determine the power and current of the motor to select a suitable soft starter. Secondly, it is necessary to consider the control mode of the soft starter and select current type, voltage type or pulse type according to actual needs. In addition, factors such as the soft starter's protection function and after-sales service also need to be considered.

 

Product Advantages
The advantage of the soft starter is that it can effectively reduce the starting current of the motor, prevent current shock, and extend the service life of the motor. At the same time, it also has a variety of protection functions, such as overload protection, short circuit protection, undervoltage protection, etc., to ensure the safe operation of the motor. In addition, the soft starter also has intelligent control and display functions to facilitate user operation and maintenance.

 

Scenes To Be Used
Soft starters are suitable for various scenarios that require motor start control, such as industrial production lines, power facilities, elevators, water pumps, etc. Especially in situations where it is necessary to reduce the starting current of the motor and prevent current shock, such as elevators, high-rise buildings, etc., soft starters are more suitable.

 

MV Soft Starter

 

There Are Two Types of Control Possible Using a Soft Start Starter

Open Control
A start voltage is applied with time, irrespective of the current drawn or the speed of the motor. For each phase, two SCRs are connected back to back and the SCRs are conducted initially at a delay of 180 degrees during the respective half-wave cycles (for which each SCR conducts). This delay is reduced gradually with time until the applied voltage ramps up to the full supply voltage. This is also known as Time Voltage Ramp System. This method is not relevant as it doesn't control the motor acceleration.

 

Closed-Loop Control
Any of the motor output characteristics like the current drawn or the speed is monitored and the starting voltage is modified accordingly to get the required response. The current in each phase is monitored and if it exceeds a certain set point, the time voltage ramp is halted.

 

 

How Does a Soft Start Starter Work?

The soft starter monitors the motor's electrical power level. The power monitor device is connected to the controller of the motor, which sends precisely timed pulses of current (called excitation) to the motor.The motor responds by taking in more power to accelerate and maintain speed. The greater current draw also reduces its internal resistance and causes an electromotive force greater than that which is applied by the controller, causing it to turn off. This action makes it more difficult for a subsequent overload condition to result in transients damaging sensitive electronics and components of the motor.

The soft-start activates when a setpoint voltage is within a few volts above or below the setpoint voltage set by the overload protection relay or circuit breaker. The soft starter provides a slow, gradual acceleration of the motor. This prevents the motor from over-exciting and causing damage to itself and to the system.

A soft starter uses peak-detecting current circuits to determine when an overload condition is occurring. If a motor starts suddenly, there may be enough power flowing through it so that some electrical equipment connected to the motor may not be able to handle it (electrical equipment can be damaged by power surges or spikes). If an overload situation occurs while the motor is starting quickly, there may not be enough voltage available to trigger the overload protection mechanism in time.

FAQ
 

 

Q: What type of motor requires a soft starter?

A: Any motor larger than three horsepower typically requires a soft starter. Soft starters are beneficial for these types of motors because they help limit high in-rush currents, reduce voltage stress on the motor during startup, reduce starting torque and protect against thermal overloads. Additionally, soft starters offer adjustable frequency acceleration rates, allowing users to optimize their motor performance by smoothing out acceleration, deceleration or even reversing speeds.

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a soft starter?

A: The most obvious advantage of using a soft starter is the reduction in motor wear and tear. The gradual increase in voltage when the motor is started up means far less strain on the motor, reducing maintenance costs and extending the life of the motor itself. Soft starters also happen to be much more energy efficient than regular motor starting methods, resulting in electrical power savings over time.On the other hand, one downside to using a soft starter is that they need a larger starting current then traditional starting solutions. As a result, requirements for wiring sizes may increase, and this could potentially lead to increased installation costs. Additionally, depending on the type of soft starter used and its settings, there may be additional harmonics or voltage surges which can cause interference with other electrical processes present in the facility where they are being used.

Q: Is a soft start bad for air conditioner?

A: This in-rush of current can cause a shorter lifespan of your AC units and even leave you with no AC for the remainder of your vacation. For this reason, soft starters are very important. A soft starter lowers this in-rush of current by 70%, making it much safer for your AC units to run both of them.

Q: When should you use a soft starter?

A: Soft starters are often the more economical choice for applications that require speed and torque control only during motor startup. Additionally, they are often the ideal solution for applications where space is a concern, as they usually take up less space than variable frequency drives.

Q: Are soft starts good for AC?

A: Research has shown that using a soft-start device on AC units can reduce peak motor voltage by as much as 50%, leading to savings in energy costs of up to 20%. Studies indicate that the installation of a soft-start device on an AC unit can help reduce motor wear and tear, extend motor life, and increase efficiency.

Q: Why do soft starters fail?

A: The soft starter requires a stable power supply to work properly. If the power supply voltage fluctuates greatly or is unstable, the starter will not start normally. This may be caused by excessive load on the power grid, aging power lines, or failure of power equipment.

Q: What are the 2 types of soft starters?

A: Several types of soft starters exist, including primary resistors, autotransformers, part winding, wye-delta, and solid-state. Soft starters run smoothly, have zero power surges, adjust motor acceleration and deceleration, reduce overheating, increase equipment lifespan, and improve efficiency.

Q: What are the benefits of soft starters?

A: A soft starter is a specific type of starter that will help better control the power flow to an electric motor. This will significantly decrease the risk of overheating and excessive strain on any motor while naturally extending its lifespan.

Q: Which is better VFD or soft starter?

A: Soft starters and VFDs both reduce the inrush current by limiting voltage, but there are also important differences between these devices. Electrical engineers recommend soft starters when motors only need a starting system, and VFDs when motors also need speed control while operating.

Q: How do I choose a soft starter?

A: Choose the current or kW of your motor and whether it is to be wired 'in line' or 'in delta', read across to find the trip class rating and down to find the correct Soft Starter. Finally choose whether the Soft Starter is to have a continuous rating or externally bypassed rating.

Q: Why every homeowner should consider installing an AC soft start?

A: In this video I show the features of and how to install a Micro Air Soft Starter on my AC unit. This will allow me to use my generator or solar to power my AC. It will also protect, diagnose, and extend the life of my unit along with so many other things it can do.The bottom line is that aftermarket items installed on a warranted product SHOULD NOT void the warranty under federal law, the Magnuson Moss Act.

Q: Does a soft starter reduce power consumption?

A: When Soft Starter is used, the motor starts gradually as voltage applied to the motor gradually ramps up. Thus over all energy consumed during start up is considerably reduced as compared to DOL and Star Delta starters.

Q: Is a soft starter an inverter?

A: Soft starters and inverters are two completely different products. Inverters are used where speed regulation is required, and their output changes not only the voltage but also the frequency; The soft starter is actually a voltage regulator.

Q: What size soft starter do I need?

A: Soft starter sizing is determined by the horsepower or kW rating of the motor, coupled with the mains operating voltage. In an established installation that uses a NEMA-rated starter, a replacement soft starter may be selected based on the NEMA size of the starter.

Q: What is the soft starter theory?

A: A soft starter continuously controls the motor's voltage supply during the start-up phase. This way, the motor is adjusted to the machine's load behavior. Mechanical operating equipment is accelerated smoothly. This lengthens service life, improves operating behavior, and smooths work flows.

Q: Which is better soft starter or star delta starter?

A: Compared with star/delta starters, soft starters are much more flexible and provide a smooth start with no risk of transients. Star/delta starters offer limited performance because: Start torque cannot be adjusted to accommodate motor and load characteristics.Protection Function 2 (overheat): When the Soft Starter internal temperature reaches 80°C ± 5°C, the Soft Starter over-heat protection will be initiated and will reset again when the Soft Starter internal temperature drops to 55° Protection Function 4 (input phase loss): Delay time is < 3s.

Q: How many amps does a soft starter draw?

A: Between 10 to 13 Amps
With a SoftstartRV installed, the AC Amp draw should normally be between 10 to 13 Amps (running) and 24 Amps Starting. It's understandable that generators can be big and heavy. Smaller generators typically have limitations and conditions.

Q: How soft starter improves performance?

A: A soft starter works by gradually increasing the voltage to the motor for a smoother and softer start. Stopping gradually reduces the voltage and ensures a more controlled stop.In principle, soft starter size should be larger than that of the motor being driven. The rated capacity of the soft starter is usually chosen according to two nominal values, one is corresponding motor power, another is maximum allowable working current of soft starter.

Q: Are hard start kits bad for compressors?

A: A hard start kit can prolong the life of your AC unit if the compressor is the source of the problem. If you have a newer unit that's otherwise in great condition, installing a hard start kit is a solid choice. However, with older compressors, a hard start kit may not be worth installing.

Q: What is the voltage of a soft starter?

A: Soft start limits the starting current and the speed of acceleration by gradually increasing the voltage to the motor during startup. This helps to reduce the chance of catastrophic failure caused by a peak inrush current or motor overload, which can lead to damage to the motor or other connected components.
