soft start
Eased initial phase
A soft start is a gradual increase in power or intensity when beginning an operation, especially for electric motors and other machinery.
Rather than switching to full power instantly, a soft start ramps up slowly to reduce mechanical stress and electrical surges: The conveyor uses a soft start to prevent belt slippage.
The term extends to any gentle beginning—easing into a workout, a phased project launch, or returning to work after vacation.
