Some people worry that using a soft starter will cause damage to the motor. In fact, the soft starter does not cause much damage to the motor, but can prolong the service life of the motor.

However, when using a soft starter, you also need to pay attention to some things to avoid problems with the use of the soft starter and the motor. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Select the soft starter according to the rated power of the motor

The capacity of the soft starter must be greater than the rated power of the motor, otherwise it will be overloaded and eventually cause damage to the soft starter and the motor.

2. Set the startup time according to the startup steps

When the soft starter is in use, the starting time needs to be set according to the starting steps of the motor to ensure the normal operation of the motor.

3. Avoid frequent operation of the soft starter

Frequent operation of the soft starter will shorten the life of the soft starter. In general, frequent operation of the soft starter should be avoided as much as possible.

4. Avoid external interference of the soft starter

The work of the soft starter needs to be stable and avoid external interference. When installing the soft starter, try to stay away from places that may cause electromagnetic interference, such as substations, strong electromagnetic interference sources, high-frequency equipment, etc.

To sum up, the soft starter can protect the motor and equipment, and has little effect on motor damage. However, when using a soft starter, it is necessary to select a suitable soft starter according to the rated power of the motor, set the starting time according to the starting steps of the motor, avoid frequent operation of the soft starter, and avoid external interference of the soft starter, so as to effectively extend the service life of the motor and improve the operating efficiency of the motor.
