Soft Starters and Variable Frequency Drives

Friday, January 7, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro

When you have motors that are started across the line a large amount of energy is used when accelerating quickly to full speed.

vfd ac driveVariable frequency drives (VFD's) are popular for applications such as fans, mixers, conveyors and compressors. Variable speed drives can be a key part of any energy management solution and will reduce stress on motors and equipment.

Soft starters are ideal for simple RUN/STOP applications and are also popular for pumps, mixers and fan applications that require a limited amount of starts and stops.

An advantage high performance AC drives have over soft starters is that it allows you control the speed.

If you'd like to talk to our technical department to see whether your application requires a variable frequency drive or a soft starter just contact us! 1-800-325-9653 or sales@wolfautomation.com.
