Understanding the difference between VFD and soft starter is essential when choosing the right motor control device for your application. While both are used to control the startup of electric motors, they function differently and serve distinct purposes.

A soft starter gradually increases voltage to the motor, reducing mechanical stress and current surge during startup. It's ideal for applications where speed control is not required but smooth starting and stopping are essential - such as pumps or compressors.

On the other hand, a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) allows full control over motor speed, torque, and direction. VFDs are ideal for energy-saving operations, especially in fans, conveyors, and other variable-speed systems.

At Aknitech, we provide expert guidance and custom solutions for both VFD and soft starter applications based on your specific needs.
