The major difference between soft starter and VFD are as follows.

 

1. Soft starter is used to start and stop the motor smoothly., without jerk load.

 

2. The starting torque delivering capacity of the soft starter is poor as V/f ratio or the flux is much lower than the rated capacity of the motor flux. It is suitable for the driven equipment which start at almost no load.

 

3. VFD is also soft start and soft stop the motor. However, VFD delivers constant torque equal to the rated torque of the motor. This is achieved by maintaining v/f ratio constant. In addition, VFD drive factory manufacturers it, mainly used for the applications for which speed control is required. Fan and water supply inverter applications, and it saves the energy.

 

A soft starter is just that. It allows the motor to ramp up to full speed and maybe ramp down to a stop. An Variable frequency drive is needed to control speed and usually includes additional features such as multiple speed settings and S curve deceleration. Consider the needs of your application and the benefits of additional flexibility versus the difference in cost. For smaller motors, an AC drive will often provide a lot of additional flexibility and future proofing for a small additional cost. But, this is not always the case so it really depends on the details of you application and budget.

 

A soft starter is a starter configured such that it will ramp up the voltage/current allowing the motor to start off slowly and pick up speed without the typical inrush.

 

The AC drive is as variable frequency drive which allows the motor to be operated over a range of speed in a controlled manner, and since you can control the speed of the motor it could have the effect of a soft starter.

 

AC drive is obviously more costly, it can have two acceleration sessions with different ramping rates (from still to minimum speed with and from min speed to target speed), some delay is added prior to start.

 

Soft Starter is like a 2 stage starter like half voltage when a pump starts rolling a timer runs down then full voltage full speed, AC drive as is description variable voltage has capacitors to vary the voltages.

 

If an application and say pump at full volume is required then you can go with a Soft Starter (also reduces line voltage inrush current demand when starting), If application requires you to control and able to adjust for a volume demand then go with an AC drive.

 

 

"But" you can operate an AC drive at a fixed speed and have the ability control the startup ramp rate and also ramp rate as it shuts down, I haven't had any soft starters ramp a motor down in reverse order as startup just cuts off the voltage when shutting down.

1. Ceramic chip capacitor failure caused by external force

(1) Because the ceramic chip capacitor is brittle and has no pin, it is greatly affected by the force. Once it is affected by the external force, the internal electrode is easy to break, resulting in the failure of the ceramic chip capacitor. As shown in Figures below, the capacitor end of ceramic patch is broken or damaged due to any external force. For example, in the process of mechanical assembly, the printed circuit board assembly is installed in the box, and the electric driver is used for assembly. At this time, the mechanical stress of the electric driver is easy to disconnect the capacitor. 

 

 

 

 

(2) Due to the quality problem of poor bonding force of ceramic chip capacitor end (body and electrode), the metal electrode is easy to fall off through the process of welding, warm punching, debugging and other external forces, that is, the body and electrode are separated, as shown in Figure as below.

 

 2. Failure caused by improper welding operation

 

(1) It is very common that the thermal shock of ceramic chip capacitor caused by improper manual welding or rework of electric iron.

 

When welding, there will be thermal shock. If the operator contacts the tip of the soldering iron directly with the electrode of the capacitor, the thermal shock will cause the micro crack of the ceramic chip capacitor body, and the ceramic chip capacitor will fail after a period of time. In principle, the SMT should be welded by hand. Multiple welding, including rework, will also affect the solderability of the chip and the resistance to welding heat, and the effect is cumulative, so it is not suitable for the capacitor to be exposed to high temperature for many times

 

(2) The tin on both ends of the capacitor is asymmetric during welding.

 

When welding, the tin on both ends of the capacitor is asymmetric, as shown in below figure.

 

The tin on both ends of the capacitor is asymmetric. When the capacitor is subjected to external force or stress screening test, the ceramic patch will be seriously affected due to excessive soldering. The capacitor's ability to resist mechanical stress will lead to cracking of the body and electrode and failure.

 

 

 

(3) Too much solder

The factors related to the degree of mechanical stress of multilayer ceramic chip capacitor on PCB include the material and thickness of PCB, the amount of solder and the position of solder. Especially, too much solder will seriously affect the ability of chip capacitor to resist mechanical stress, resulting in capacitor failure.

 

3. Capacitor failure caused by unreasonable pad design

(1) The design of the pad is unreasonable, as shown in below Figure, when there is a hole in the pad. Solder will lose (there is such design phenomenon in the product), which causes welding defects due to the asymmetry of solder at both ends of capacitor. At this time, stress screening or external force will be conducted. The stress released at both ends of ceramic chip capacitor will easily cause cracking and failure.

 

 

(2) Another pad design is shown in below Figure. When using on-line welding, the size of pads at both ends of the capacitor is different or asymmetric (this design phenomenon exists in the product), the amount of solder paste printed is quite different. The small pad has a fast response to temperature, and the solder paste on it melts first. Under the action of solder paste tension, the component is straightened up, resulting in "upright" phenomenon or solder asymmetry, causing capacitor failure. One end of several ceramic chip capacitors share a large pad. If one capacitor at the common end needs to be repaired or one of the capacitors fails and needs to be replaced, one end of the other components will also experience a thermal shock, and the capacitor is prone to failure.

 

 

 

4. Failure caused by high and low temperature impact test

During the test, the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of PCB, MLCC end electrode and ceramic dielectric is small, and the chip capacitor is subjected to certain thermal stress due to the rapid change of cold and hot. The body (ceramic) and electrode (metal) of SMC produce stress cracks, which lead to the failure of SMC.

 

5. Failure caused by mechanical stress

Improper operation of the printing plate in the assembly process will cause mechanical stress, which will lead to capacitor rupture, and the pad is designed near the screw hole, which is easy to cause mechanical damage during assembly. This kind of damage makes the crack expand further in the temperature shock test, which leads to the capacitor failure. It can be seen from the structure that MLCC can withstand large compressive stress, but its bending resistance is poor. Any operation that may produce bending deformation during capacitor assembly will lead to component cracking.

Hermetically Sealed High Energy Tantalum Capacitor is high-performance, high-energy density, low impedance and full sealing. With the innovative multi-anode parallel structure, the self-impedance of the capacitor is significantly reduced, resulting in lower heat generation and higher reliability during high-power-density charging and discharging. Additionally, it can be used in circuits with some AC components for discharging and dual-purpose filtering as a filter and power compensation device.

 

To ensure high reliability during usage, please take note of the following points.

 

1. Test

 

1.1 Hermetically Sealed High Energy Tantalum Capacitor is a polar component, the polarity must not be reversed during use and testing. If the polarity is reversed, the reliability of the capacitor will be irreversibly damaged and cannot be used anymore.

 

1.2 Capacitance & Dissipation Factor Measuring Conditions: 1.0Vrms@100Hz

 

1.3 Equivalent Series ResistanceESR):measuredat1000Hz,1Vrms

 

1.4 Leakage current test: Apply rated voltage or class voltage for 5min. The qualified standards for leakage current can be found in the product specifications and corresponding specifications.

 

1.5 Professional testing instruments and fixtures must be used. A multimeter cannot be used to test any parameters of hermetically sealed high energy tantalum capacitor. It is not possible to use a multimeter to test it regardless of polarity.

 

1.6 Hermetically sealed high energy tantalum capacitor can store a high amount of electrical energy, after conducting a leakage current test, the capacitor must be thoroughly discharged by a standard leakage current tester before use.

Discharge resistance: 1000 ohms;

Discharge time:  5mins

Residual voltage after discharge:<1V

 

1.7 Test of electrical performance must be carried out in the following order and cannot violate.

Test sequence: Capacitance & Dissipation Factor - ESR - Leakage Current – Discharge

  

2. Precautions for use on different circuits

 

2.1 Delay protection circuit

The capacitors used in such circuits primarily serve as backup power for unexpected power outages, requiring them to automatically engage when the main power source suddenly fails. They must maintain a specified power supply duration under certain voltage and power density requirements. When designing circuits of this nature, please pay attention to the mathematical relationship between the total impedance of the capacitor's downstream circuit and the required voltage, capacitor capacity, and power needs. Additionally, during the design phase, it is advisable to leave at least a 50% margin in capacitor capacity selection to ensure that there is enough power supply time and power density in case of unforeseen factors. The specific calculation is as follows:

 

When the circuit is working normally,

Input power: P

Capacitance: C

Voltage at both ends: U1

Then, the energy stored by the capacitor is

 W1=CU12/2

Where U12 represents the square of U1.

When the input power supply drops out, after a time t, the voltage at both ends U2,

Then, the remaining energy of the capacitor is

W2=CU22/2

The energy released during this process:

W=W1-W2=CU12-U22/2

It should be equal to the energy required to keep the circuit working properly:

W=Pti.e. input power multiplied by time

Therefore,

CU12-U22/2=Pt

From this, the minimum capacitance required for the circuit maintenance time t can be obtained as:

C=2Pt/U12-U22

In practical applications, U2 is the minimum input voltage that a circuit can operate normally.

 

Example:

If when the circuit is working normally, the input voltage is 28V (U1), the input power is 30W (P), and the minimum input voltage that can work normally is 18V (U2). It is required that the circuit can still work even after a 50 millisecond (t) power drop-out from the input power supply, then the minimum capacitance required for energy storage capacitance is

 

C=2Pt/U12-U22

 =2×30×50/282-182

 =3000/784-324

 =6.522mF=6522μF

 

An energy storage capacitor used in the front end of a power supply circuit has an input voltage of 50 V. When the power is cut off, the capacitor begins to supply energy to the subsequent circuit, and the voltage must be maintained at not less than 18 V while supplying energy for 75 W. Calculate the required capacitance.

This circuit also requires an accurate loop resistance. The size of the circuit resistance determines the required capacity of the capacitor.

The conversion formula for the performance of each parameter in this circuit is as follows:

C=R×PT×T/(U1-U2)

 

In the equation:

 

C: Required capacitance (F)

R: Total circuit resistance (Ω)

Pt: The power that the circuit needs to maintain (W)

T: Loop power holding time (s)

U1: Input voltage (V)

U2: Voltage that can maintain a certain power and discharge time (V)

The capacitor used in such circuits must be derated to within 70% of the rated voltage.

 

2.2 Charging and discharging circuit

Due to its high energy density and low impedance characteristics, this capacitor is the best choice for high-power discharge circuits. The hermetically sealed high energy tantalum capacitor used in such circuits can still achieve high power density infinite charging and discharging under certain conditions and still has high reliability. It is the best instantaneous power supply.

 

In such circuits, the relationship among the capacitance of capacitors, the output power density and load power can be calculated by referring to clause 2.1.

 

In this type of circuit, the maximum discharge current I to which the capacitor can be subjected individually must not exceed 50% of the current value calculated in the following formula;

Due to the inherent thermal equilibrium issue that capacitors inevitably face during high-power discharges, the maximum DC current pulse that tantalum capacitors can safely withstand in a DC high-power discharge circuit with a fixed impedance is determined by the following formula:

 

I=UR /R+ESR

 

In the equation:

 

I: Maximum DC surge current (A)

R: The total impedance of the circuit for testing or discharging (Ω)

UR: Rated voltage (V)

ESR: Equivalent series resistance (Ω)

 

From the above formula, it can be observed that if a product has a higher ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), its safe DC surge current capability will be reduced. This also implies that if one product has half the ESR of another, its resistance to DC surge will be twice as high, and its filtering characteristics will be better as well.

When using capacitors in such circuits, since the capacitors operate continuously at high power levels, the actual operating voltage should not exceed 70% of the rated voltage. Considering the impact of heat dissipation on reliability, it is even better to derate the usage to below 50% for higher reliability.

Furthermore, when using this type of capacitor in such circuits, due to the high operating current, the capacitor will experience some heating. When designing the capacitor's placement, it is essential to ensure that it is not positioned too close to other heat-sensitive components. Additionally, the installation space for this capacitor must have good ventilation.

 

2.3 Filtering and power compensation for the power supply secondary 

The allowable AC ripple value of the capacitor used in such circuits must be strictly controlled. Otherwise, excessive AC ripple can lead to significant heating of the capacitor and reduced reliability. In principle, the maximum allowable AC ripple value should not exceed 1% of the rated voltage, the current should not exceed 5% of the maximum permissible discharge current, and the maximum allowable operating voltage of the capacitor should not exceed 50% of the rated voltage.

 

3. Derating design of hermetically sealed high energy tantalum capacitor

 

In general, the reliability of capacitors is closely related to the operating conditions of the circuit. To ensure an adequate level of reliability during usage, it is essential to adhere to the following principles:

3.1 Reduce more rather than less

Because the greater the derating of capacitors, the higher the reliability in handling unexpected power shocks. Additionally, derating design should be based on reliability under possible extreme usage conditions, such as high operating temperatures, high ripple currents, and significant temperature and power fluctuations.

 

3.2 Select large capacity rather than small

The larger the capacitance, the higher the instantaneous electrical energy it can provide. Additionally, since this capacitor falls under the basic category of tantalum electrolytic capacitors, it experiences greater capacity loss at low temperatures (compared to solid tantalum capacitors). Therefore, the capacity selection should be based on the capacity at extreme negative temperatures. This is particularly important for capacitors used at high altitudes. Specific capacity variations at low temperatures can be found in the product specifications and relevant standards.

 

3.3 Selection of Impedance

For circuits used in situation 2.3, it is essential to choose products with a lower ESR whenever possible for higher reliability and improved filtering performance.

 

3.4 Selection of Capacitor Size

Due to the fact that smaller products with the same capacity and voltage must be manufactured using tantalum powder with higher specific capacity, the ESR of the product will be higher, and the leakage current will also be greater. Therefore, the reliability of the product will be lower than that of larger products. When installation space allows, products with larger volumes should be used as much as possible to achieve higher reliability.

 

4. Installation

 

4.1 Installation ways 

The positive lead wire of hybrid energy tantalum capacitors cannot be directly welded to the circuit board, but must be welded to the circuit board through the external lead wire. High energy tantalum composite will be present.

There are three ways to install the circuit board, as shown below:

Figure 1Installation mode of single negative pole lead (fixed by mounting frame)

 

 Figure 2Double negative or triple negative lead installation mode (fixed by negative lead)

 

 

Figure 3Double screw or triple screw installation (fixed by screw)

 

4.2 Considerations for Installation Method Selection 

Due to the relatively large mass and size of this capacitor, it is advisable to adhere to the following principles during installation:

aFor specifications with large size and mass, standard mounting brackets provided by the manufacturer should be used as much as possible to ensure that the connection between the product and circuit will not experience instantaneous open circuits when the equipment encounters large vibrations and overload impacts, and also to ensure installation strength requirements.

(b) For conditions where size and mass are relatively small and there are stringent requirements for installation space, capacitor products with built-in mounting bolts can be used. For such installations, it is essential to ensure that the circuit board has a high level of strength. Additionally, after tightening the mounting bolts, epoxy-based sealant must be used to secure the bolts. If conditions allow, other forms of fastening (such as applying adhesive to the capacitor base) can also be employed to ensure that the capacitor's mounting strength meets the requirements for extreme conditions of use.

(c) For products used in high-power continuous discharge circuits, capacitors should not be installed too close to devices with significant heat dissipation to prevent the capacitor from overheating and experiencing reduced reliability. Additionally, capacitors used in such circuits should not have heat-insulating sealant coatings applied to their casings to avoid a decrease in heat dissipation performance, which could lead to increased temperatures and reduced reliability of the capacitors.

(d) For products used in high-power uninterrupted discharge circuits, it is essential to have good ventilation conditions to ensure that the heat generated by the capacitors can be promptly expelled, preventing excessive temperature rise of the capacitors.

(e) The anode lead of hermetically sealed high energy tantalum capacitor is connected to the casing with an insulating ceramic material. Therefore, during installation, the positive lead that is fixed to the circuit board must be connected using nickel-based leads that are soldered on; it is not permissible to directly solder the excessively short tantalum leads onto the circuit board. This is because short positive leads can compromise the capacitor's seal when subjected to high overload and high-frequency vibrations, leading to leakage and capacitor failure.

 

5. Circuit protection

 

5.1 If the selected capacitor operates at a frequency with significant power variations, it is advisable to implement overload protection in the power supply circuit providing energy compensation to the capacitor. This helps prevent overloading of the power supply when there is a sudden surge in starting current.

5.2 The circuit in which this capacitor is used must have reverse voltage control and a separate discharge path to prevent the capacitor from experiencing reverse surges during operation and shutdown. The energy stored in the capacitor should be correctly discharged after use.
