Medium Voltage Drive and Soft Starter

A medium voltage drive works the same way as its low-voltage counterpart, adjusting the frequency and voltage supplied to a motor so you can control its speed and torque. The difference? These drives are built for larger installed loads, ranging from 3kV to 11kV motors, commonly utilised in mining such as mills, large conveyors, pumps, crushers, fans, and compressors.

On the other hand, a soft starter is all about controlling the motor current during start-up. Instead of hitting full voltage straight away, it ramps it up gradually, reducing the initial current surge and mechanical stress. Sometimes, you might not need variable speed control on your application; maybe it just needs to start reliably without damaging itself or the driven equipment. In such cases, a soft starter could be the smarter, more cost-effective option.

Medium Voltage Drive and Soft Starter: Industries & Applications

Medium voltage drives and soft starters are workhorses in sectors where larger motors keep the operations moving, such as:

Mining and quarrying operations typically use crushers, mills, conveyors, slurry pumps, and ventilation fans.
Oil and gas operations run pumps, compressors, and drilling equipment.
Water and wastewater treatment facilities operate high-capacity pumps and blowers.
Power generation uses cooling tower fans and boiler feed pumps.
Heavy manufacturing runs kilns, mills, and large mixers.

If your industry or application utilises a large motor driving a critical process, there’s a good chance a medium voltage drive or soft starter could make it run smoother and last longer, all while costing less to operate.

How to Select a Medium Voltage Drive and Soft Starter

Selecting the right medium voltage drive and soft starter largely depends on your process requirements and budget.

If you need variable speed, process control, high torque, or energy savings from load-matching, go with a medium voltage drive.
If the motor runs at a fixed speed but you want to reduce start-up stress and extend equipment life, a soft starter may be the way to go.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all option when it comes to medium voltage drives and soft starters; the right choice depends on the motor size, the load type, the power supply, and the operating environment.
