Hi everybody.

I need to explain a customer the advantages of a soft-starter vs. delta-star start.

Could you send me any information or technical brouchure about this.

thanks

Are you writing to a company selling soft-starters?

This is a discussion forum for engineers. We have nothing to "send".

Start here.

He also has another paper on that site which is specificto Soft Starters.

You can do your own comparison from these.


My (somwhat worthless) opinion:
Star-Delta = very very bad.
Soft Starter = very very good.
