Air compressor with softstarter?
(OP)
It is adviseble to equip Air Compressor (37KW) with direct start with softstarter? The reason it would be that the presosate stops and starts the motor many times.

I have seen many a very expensive control system introduced into air-compressor systems and all they do, if leakage is not investigated first, is to compensate for the leaks.
Do that first then introduce control strategies.

There are quite a few compressors using this technique. One of them carries a large Greek "eta" to indicate high efficiency.

Mobex,
I used to be the supplier of all soft starters for Sullair years ago, I assure you there is no problem with soft starting them. In fact some of the dealers insisted on supplying soft starters even if the user didn't ask for it because they got fewer call backs for mechanical problems.
Keith,
I've got a small plastic see-through model of a Sullair compressor. If you spin it fast enough with your fingers, you can feel it moving air. If I remember to, I'll bring it by some time.
