Choosing between a VSD and a Soft Starter
VSD vs Soft Starter Soft Starters utilise silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) to perform phase angle control, while Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) use insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) to perform pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control. VSD technology continues to evolve, while Soft Starters are considered … Continued
