In Ontario, there's an industrial exemption. But only if it's directly related to the manufacturing of the product. My interpretation of this is that if it's part of the production line, it's exempt and doesn't need a P.Eng stamp. So I'm assuming these boilers are part of the "utilities" in your...
I made the mistake once of buying a soft start that was rated the same HP as my motor. We were running a very high inertial load though, and ran into problems where the soft start would fault on a SCR HI TEMP alarm.
