Solid-State
Step-less voltage ramp-up
Toothed supply
Inrush < 70% LRA
Very expensive
Inverter Drive
Step-less voltage and frequency ramp-up using PWM technique
Inrush < FLA
Extremely expensive
Due to the large capacity of the substation transformers (usually 50MVA @ 30%
impedance), DOL starting can be used without sacrificing the stability of the
power supply
Calculations below show that the transformer secondary Voltage-Dip with Auto-
Tap correction will be 5.2% only; acceptable voltage variation by most of the plant
equipment is 7-10%
The Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCB) in the distribution panel can be used to
start/stop the compressor motor. Lockable draw-out type VCB also provide safe
isolation for service
