Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor

Choose a VFD when you need continuous speed or pressure control; choose a soft starter when the only problem is across-the-line inrush on a fixed-speed pump. Mixing the two on an RFQ wastes capital — soft starters will not give PID tank control, and a full VFD is overkill if the pump never changes speed.

What “Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor” means on an RFQ

Buyers who ask about “Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor” need a defendable shortlist for the panel builder, not a definition of the acronym.

RFQ data that locks voltage and power class

For “Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor”, send motor kW, voltage, start frequency and whether bypass is required. Say if speed control will be needed later — that forks soft starter vs VFD.

Control functions that change field behaviour

This is inrush and torque-ramp control for “Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor”, not continuous speed control. Confirm current limit, online vs bypass and kick-start needs.

Site, EMC and protection notes

Soft starters for “Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor” live in panels: check IP, heat, and whether a later VFD retrofit needs reserved DIN width and choke space.

How Boray series map to this topic

ST100 (bypass), ST200 (online) and ST300 (cabinet) cover “Variable Frequency Drive or Soft Starter for Your Motor”. Step to FS300 / BR110 if PID or energy saving appears on the same RFQ.
