Point of Reflection – Reconvene
Welcome back! So, what were your thoughts?
You may have come up with a number of ideas. The following are ones that are commonly used, but the list is by no means exhaustive:
-
Specifying smaller equipment to run for longer periods of time
-
Sequencing equipment to start at different times

Running different sections at different times
The following can also be used (we will cover this in the next section):
-
Variable speed drives
-
Soft starters
