The only way to measure the real in rush is to put a scope on it. Rule of thumb, in rush without a softstart is 7 to 10 times running current. A softstart works much the same as an inverter. SCRs fire to slowly allow the voltage to ramp up while limiting the current. An inverter, because it is mimicking full sine way can only allow about a 200% current inrush. Softstarts don't provide clean AC, just square wave pulses. They can go 7 times locked rotor current. Locked rotor is the same as normal FLA (full load running) amps.
