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.
