Hi,
I have the above rated motor (1500 rpm) to start. Due to limited power availability from the Utility company, I cannot start the motor with more than 300% of full load current. Direct-on-line(DOL)is out of the question. I am looking at the possibility of using soft starter. However, the vendor is proposing an 'inverter.' What is an inverter? Can it do the job? Space is a constraint. Please advise.
Your prompt reply is much appreciated.
