ABSTRACT
Induction motor damage frequently occurs in industrial environments. One of the
causes of failure is the use of a starting method that does not match the motor's
requirements. This research employs two starting methods, namely
autotransformer and soft starter. Both methods are tested through simulations and
calculations to compare changes in motor variables during starting. In the
autotransformer starting method, voltage transfer occurs once when the motor
approaches its nominal speed, resulting in an overshoot in current. In contrast, the
soft starter method gradually transfers voltage, preventing an immediate current
overshoot. The results indicate that the starting current with a soft starter reaches
2.8 times the nominal current, while the autotransformer method reaches 3.2 times
the nominal current. The starting torque for the soft starter is 1.17 times the nominal
torque, whereas the autotransformer achieves a starting torque of 1.5 times the
nominal torque. Although the soft starter has lower initial current and torque, it
stabilizes more quickly, thus using less energy during startup.Validation tests
comparing current against RPM for the autotransformer method show that the
current curve begins at a low voltage and switches to nominal voltage as it
approaches nominal speed. This curve aligns with findings from Bambang Prio
Hartono and statements in Stephen J. Chapman’s book. For the soft starter method,
the current curve rises slowly at first and then gradually decreases after reaching
its peak. This behavior is consistent with research by Muhammad Adam and
information from ABB's Soft Starter Handbook. Based on these observations, the
current study can be deemed valid.
