Understanding the Impact on Power Systems
Get the Soft Starters and Harmonics Fact Sheet
Harmonics are a natural part of any electrical power system, but they can raise concerns when selecting motor control equipment. Misunderstandings, particularly around soft starters and variable speed drives, often lead to overly cautious specifications or unnecessary design decisions.
This factsheet provides a clear overview of harmonics and their relationship with soft starter technology. It outlines how harmonics are generated, their impact on power systems, and why soft starters are often not a significant source of concern.
