A Danfoss soft starter is an electronic device that regulates the voltage to the motor and this provided a smooth transition from standstill to full speed operation. Where variable speed is not required, Danfoss electronic soft starters still provide benefits compared to star/delta and other contactor solutions.
Danfoss VLT Soft Starters all use the principle of phase angle control: back-to-back coupled thyristors ramp up the motor voltage.
In some Danfoss VLT soft starters, current transformers measure the motor current, providing feedback for starting current control but also for numerous motor and application protection functions.
