Is it really that difficult to soft start a single-phase motor?

I suppose it's having a full load already present that makes it a headache.

I have a good sized motor to test it on...I'll have to muck around with it. Just what I need, another project!

Thyristor control not work? You could literally dial-up the power...

oh, wait, this is derailing the topic. Back to whatever you guys were discussing.
