I am confused by Mike's definition on autotransformer starter.
An autotransformer seems to be a starter with a single-winding transformer attached to it. While a soft starter could be the same but the voltage is ramped up to the desired voltage slowly.
His definition says... A Starter equipped with an autotransformer that serves to reduce the voltage applied to the motor terminals during starting.
If I look online they appear to be two different items.
Thanks!
