In telecommunications, power ramp is the way in which the signal increases ("power-on ramp") or falls off ("power-down ramp"), which may result in
spectral splatter {{unreferenced, date=February 2008
In radio electronics or acoustics, spectral splatter (also called ''switch noise'') refers to spurious emissions that result from an abrupt change in the transmitted signal, usually when transmission is started ...

Soft start
A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electrical motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electric current surge of the motor during start-up. This reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as wel ...
