ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Motor soft starter

Okay kiddo, so you know how when you turn on a big machine like a refrigerator or a washing machine, it makes a loud noise and shakes a lot? That's because the motor inside it starts too fast and is too powerful right away.

A motor soft starter is like a superhero that makes sure the machine starts calmly and smoothly. The soft starter slowly increases the power to the motor so it starts gently, like stretching before running. This helps the machine last longer because it doesn't get worn out from sudden movements.

So just like you warm up your muscles before exercising, the motor soft starter warms up the motor before it starts working hard. And that's how it saves the day!
