Hi all,
i want to build a soft start for a 3 phase 380Vac induction motor using triacs and a microcontroller.
Anyone can help me?
Thx in advance.

There are members of the DSPIC family specialized for motor control, Microchip's app notes might be a good place to start.

Not useful for me..
They use inverter solution, i need to use only triac with a small 8 bit microcontroller.

Sounds like you want a three-phase version of a lamp dimmer.

Microcontroller needs to know zero crossing.  Can do with opto-isolator.

Initially fire triacs, for small amount of time, perhaps 1 mS, turn off at at their phase’s zero crossing.   Fire each triac  progressively earlier until firing full 360 degrees to apply soft-start.

The harsh switching of the triacs is going to create a very noisy electrical situation, filtering is EXTREMELY important to keep that noise from interfering with the world around you.

------------------------------

As a simplest alternative, correctly sized power resistors in series with the motor,
a triac in parallel with each resistor and the microcontroller turns on the triacs after
motor start-up time.

A relay could replace all 3 triacs.

The method marcosz67 with the resistors describes ,i use this for softstarting big transformers (upto 3 KW) .
Although i prefer to use a relay to bridge te resistor it turned out to be most reliable .

Standard method is star-delta switch:

Hi. I got a circuit and the triac BT131 is bad. I could not find it in my supplier"s shop. Please, anyone know of good triac to use to replace BT131?. It is just to power a fan coil.
