The difference between soft start motor and ordinary motor

What is the difference between soft start motor and ordinary motor?


The difference between a soft-start motor and an ordinary motor is that the efficiency of the soft-start motor is different from the normal speed when starting. The harmonic voltage and current of the soft-start motor operate under non-sinusoidal power supply conditions. Ordinary motors are more adaptable to frequent starting and braking.

The insulation structure of soft-start motors and ordinary motors cannot be set too high, and insulation measures are generally required to avoid unnecessary losses caused by low-speed cooling of the motor and damage to the machine.


The overall difference between soft-start motors and ordinary motors is not very big, and they are both expected to have a lifespan of more than 10 years. It is quite good for users who have needs in motors to choose this motor.
