Hi,
My dad has a small lathe that sometimes rips up the drive belt at start-up. So I thought maybe a soft starter can fix this. I'm aware of the following soft starters:
- Stuff like this. Starting at around EUR 150,- that's a bit too pricey.
- An NTC with a relay
- A TRIAC dimmer of some kind
A store-bought product would be nice, but a DIY project would be fine too if it's not too complex. Can a dimmer be automatic, such that it will ramp up in something like 5 seconds so you don't need to turn a dimmer knob after switch on? How would you solve this?
Thanks.
Motor specification:
Rotor: Squirl cage
Stator:
┴ (what is this?)
Voltage: 220 AC, 50 Hz
Current: 6.1 A, single phase
Speed: 2800 rpm
cos phi: 0.84
