9.8.3 Constant Current with Kickstart
Kickstart provides a short boost of extra torque at the beginning of a start, and can be used with current ramp or constant current
starting.
Kickstart can be useful to help start loads that require high breakaway torque but then accelerate easily (for example helical rotor
pumps).

9.8.4 Timed Voltage Ramp
Timed voltage ramp (TVR) soft starting ramps the application of voltage to the motor over a defined time period. The voltage ramp
reduces the initial starting torque and slows the motor's rate of acceleration.
TVR starting can be useful for applications where multiple motors of different sizes are connected in parallel, and/or the loads are
not mechanically linked.
