I have a rebuilt UNISAW 36-812. Its powered with a 3 hp 220v stock motor. I want to add a soft-start feature so it does not apply full power when you hit the red button. Questions:
1. Can this done without pulling down the motor?
2. Are there any engineering reasons why this would be harmful to the stater or windings if I add soft-start?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
