Yolico VFD

Motor Soft Starters

Soft starters limit inrush current on motor start, reducing mechanical stress and voltage dip on the supply. Unlike a variable frequency drive (VFD), they control only the ramp up to full speed and hold no set speed afterwards. Our range covers 5.5–930 kW: conventional current-limited starters with a built-in bypass contactor and pump control that removes water hammer, plus variable-frequency soft starters such as the SPG, which hold the switching current to 1.2 times the motor rating under V/f control.

Choose the starter by motor power and the start type you need — voltage, current, or torque ramp. Pumps and compressors benefit from a controlled stop that prevents column reversal and surge. Confirm the supply voltage and whether you need protection functions such as overload, phase loss, and stall. Heat-sink sizing depends on start frequency.

We help panel builders and pump stations specify and commission soft starters with bypass and protection. Send the motor nameplate and the start/stop requirement and we confirm the model within 24 hours. Our factory offers IP54 enclosures and private-label versions.

How to Select the Right Soft Starter

  1. Check the motor nameplate: rated power, current, voltage and frequency.
  2. Identify the load type — variable torque (fans, pumps) or constant torque (conveyors, compressors, mills).
  3. Match the drive's rated output current to the motor's full-load current, not just the kW rating.
  4. Confirm the overload requirement: 120% for light duty, 150% or more for heavy duty.
  5. Check the environment: ambient temperature, dust, humidity and cable length derating.
  6. Send us your specifications — we confirm frame size and quote FOB/CIF within 24 hours.
