simple soft start circuit DIY

Hi, Guys.. Here is a "quick and dirty" way to build a soft start circuit for power tools or heavy inductive loads on 230 volt AC. It is built with a absoblut minimum component count. I am using this circuit for more then 15 years now. It is a "proven concept". Feel free, to copy my circuit, but be careful, when working with mains voltage. ;) #softstartcircuit If you want to support me and my projects out here in the shop, you can become a patreon under: https://www.patreon.com/LariFari
