A soft start is a starter that bring a motor from the starting point of a slow speed in to a multiple speed that can be programmed in the starter
Imagine you have a big plant in your factory, the voltage will go down/up when the plant start/stop, cause the sharp start/stop
The soft starter is controlling AC motor in soft start/stop to eliminate such problems.

Main function is temporarily reduce the load and torque at the starting period by reducing voltage applied to the motor by means of thyristor or SCR .
I assume a 3 phase, AC induction motor. A star delta starter or a soft starter can be used. A soft starter is better compared to a star delta starter, but it is more expensive.
An inverter is just a device to invert one form of electrical power supplied to its input into another form of electrical power as its output. A soft starter may be included into an inverter design, its function is just to provide temporary power to the inverter until it gets started. After that the soft starter is disabled, usually by a diode feedback link.
Check the earth fault trip off set limit of the ACB. It may be too low.
The starter motor is at the rear of the engine.
in 4 point starter we use a protactive rasistance to control the speed of motar in 3point starter speed is uncontolled
