Abstract

A solid state controller for limiting a starting current in an induction machine is provided. The solid state controller includes a first comparator configured to generate a first comparison result based on a comparison of a rotor speed of the induction motor to a rotor speed threshold. The solid state controller includes a phase current limiter configured to generate a start-up current limit based on a comparison result received from the first comparator. The solid state controller includes a second comparator configured to generate a second comparison result based on a comparison of a starting current of the induction motor to a starting current limit. The solid state controller includes a microprocessor configured to generate, based on the second comparison result, a trigger phase angle, where the trigger phase angle is a phase angle when the solid state controller is turned on, and to generate a stop time at which the solid state controller is turned off.
