The traditional method of starting an AC induction motor "across the line" results in full voltage, current, and torque being applied immediately when the motor is started, and likewise, being removed immediately when the motor is stopped. While this is the most simple starting method, the high inrush current (often 6 to 7 times the motor's rated current) and peak starting torque can damage the motor, driven equipment, and product. Across the line starting also causes high peak power demand, which can trigger peak demand fees from the utility company. A soft starter can eliminate these problems by gradually increasing voltage to the motor terminals during startup, providing a controlled ramp-up to full speed. This lowers inrush current and controls starting torque, reducing mechanical shocks to the system and the product.

When the main circuit of the VFD is connected with the power line, in order to control the motor, it is necessary to connect the surrounding control circuit to the relevant terminals, and set the starting mode parameters of the VFD to external operation mode.

The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a device widely used to convert the constant voltage of an autonomous AC power source into a variable voltage for controlling the torque and speed of the motor. They are ideal for motors that drive loads on mechanical equipment. A VFD offers higher efficiency than simple inline motors, as well as a degree of control not available with simple drive motors. These factors can save energy costs, improve production performance and extend motor life.
