What is the difference between a soft starter and a frequency converter?
1、What is a soft starter?
Soft starter is a novel motor control device that integrates soft start, soft stop, light load energy saving and a variety of protection functions.
It is mainly composed of three opposite parallel thyristors and electronic control circuits connected in series between the power supply and the controlled motor. Different functions can be realized by using different methods to control the opening Angle of the three opposite parallel gates, so that the input voltage of the controlled motor changes according to different requirements.
2、What is the frequency converter?
A frequency converter is a power control device that can change the frequency of alternating current.
It consists of a microprocessor and other electronic components that are able to control the speed and torque of the motor by changing the frequency of the power supply. Inverters can be used for a variety of different applications such as speed control, load balancing, energy saving, etc. Its advantages include high efficiency, low noise, high precision control, etc.
