A hard start abruptly ramps up the voltage and current to the motor start; a soft start is a much gentler start that results from a gradual voltage and current increase on the start AND run windings. The EasyStart marks a paradigm shift in how we think about "saving" compressors. It attempts to avoid drawing unnecessary inrush current, which is very common with h...
