simple soft start circuit DIY

🙏 I like the circuit and your patient & clear explanation 👍

Nice, very simple indeed.

Thanks for sharing!

Great idea. Thanks for sharing... and for looking after the hedgehogs!

Thank you

Liked the clip. Thanks. Liked the notion of using a diode to drop the current seen by the motor. Your local parts electronics store might max out at 3 amps, but you can parallel two or more diodes to get to the current that might work a little better, I would guess.

So nice thanks sir

The simplest circuit is a diode in parallel with a toggle switch in the phase wire break

Hi, great friend Lari! I finally managed to assemble! The story is a little long, but the changes were: 330 nF to 1 uF capacitor (to get 10.6 volts); Capacitor from 470 uF to 2200 uF (to get a 1 second delay); Rectifying diode from 6 amps to 20 amps (to guarantee an 1800 Watt saw); 24 volt/1 Watt zener diode for 12 volt/5 Watt (just in case if it gets hot); 24 volt relay for 12 volt/16 amps (from microwave oven). The mount was a little bulkier than yours, but the important thing is that I won't have that feeling that the saw blade wouldn't fly towards me when turned on. Thank you very much for your help! A big hug from Brazil! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family

Good day lari. Thanks for sharing this, its help a lot. I plan to make this one, my question is,can i replace those relay on the circuit, and use dc to ac solid state relay, instead ? I planning to make this one, and install it to my 2hp water pressure belt type.

cool !!!

Hallo Lari Fari! Nette Schaltung! Eine Frage hierzu: Sehe ich das richtig, dass die Verzögerungszeit bereits zu laufen beginnt, sobald am Eingang Netzspannung anliegt? Wäre problematisch, wenn man mit einem großen Winkelschleifer arbeitet, welcher keinen Sanftanlauf hat und diesen als Last an deine Schaltung anschließen würde. Hätte sowas im Sinn wie z.B. einen kleinen Zwischenadapter im Gehäuse mit eigenem Netzkabel und Schukokupplung am Ausgang.

Hi do you have a parts list available ad I need these to use solar power for my power tools please and thanx

Thank you for sharing your circuit. Amazing how you simplified it. Wery clear explanation of parts of circuit. I'm in US and will need to build 120v version but I never build single thing for electronics. Would same circuit work for 120v and handle 24A if I replace your diode P600K with diode that can handle more current ? Or will I need to modify more components please ? By the way I love your channel name :-)

Hello sir. Thank you for this great video. I am helping a carpenter with his machines. His machines start at very high current as you say. For example an old bandsaw. i think it draws around 15 amps on startup then 3 amps. What is the simplest/cheapest way to reduce the starting current? is the soft starting the best method? thank you again

Great explanation sir. Could I ask you which component handles the delay?

Is the inrush current cut in half? Or by what % reduction can you figure with?

Great video! I was looking for this circuit. Only one question. Is the 330 nano F value ok? Does not have to be micro F? Thanks!

Great design by its' simplicity! Do you think it will work with 650 VA toroid transformer on 230 V?

Hi Lari. will a 220v motor controller module do the same? also act as a soft start cirduit? thanks for the video. keep safe.
