simple soft start circuit DIY

Hi, Guys..
Here is a "quick and dirty" way to build a soft start circuit for power tools or heavy inductive loads on 230 volt AC.
It is built with a absoblut minimum component count.
I am using this circuit for more then 15 years now.
It is a "proven concept".
Feel free, to copy my circuit, but be careful, when working with mains voltage. ;)

  • 🙏 I like the circuit and your patient & clear explanation 👍
  • Great idea. Thanks for sharing... and for looking after the hedgehogs!
  • 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.

    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.

    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 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!
  • @uln6270
    The simplest circuit is a diode in parallel with a toggle switch in the phase wire break
  • I'd like to know more about your panel saw. Did you build?
  • @geekboy6655
    Great design by its' simplicity! Do you think it will work with 650 VA toroid transformer on 230 V?
  • Hi Larry, in your wiring diagram there are Neutral and Line, what if they swapped? Because we dont know which N and L in every electric socket. Thank you.
  • @drunknspike
    Hi do you have a parts list available ad I need these to use solar power for my power tools please and thanx
  • Hi Lari. will a 220v motor controller module do the same? also act as a soft start cirduit? thanks for the video. keep safe.
  • @DavincisMind
    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 :-)

    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.
  • So I got a makita soft starter module want yo add it to my dewalt table saw how do I go about wiring it up.
