SoftStartRV provides an effective solution in the reduction of startup current, typically up to 70%, but still provides full startup torque for compressors and motors.
The starting of an air-conditioner compressor or induction motor is accompanied by:
The increased unnecessary torque results in sudden mechanical stress on the machine which leads to increased wear, higher service costs and reduced service life.
Plus, the high inrush current and current peaks may stress the power supply system to increased mains and generator loads which may lead to voltage dips – resulting in breaking down of other valuable equipment or systems.
SoftStartRV is the best RV A/C soft starter kit for these situations.
SoftStartRV is an embedded design air-conditioner soft start controller for single phase A/C power systems. It regulates the startup voltage of the compressor and/or motor intelligently to easily reduce the inrush and surge current while starting up. As a result, much less power is needed from on-site the A/C power supply system – while enabling full startup torque for compressors and motors.
SoftStartRV effectively limits the inrush current, and improves the stability of the power supply while reducing transient voltage drops that may affect or break down other loads.
This eliminates the need for excessive power supply, which results in:
– Reduced equipment costs,
– Efficiencies in power supply capacity, charge meter, circuit breaker, and power wireline capacity.
Ultimately, it extends the service life of the motor or compressor.
Not only does the SoftStartRV ease strain on the power source, but it’s also less stressful for the compressor since it starts more gently.
Additionally, it provides valuable protection by shutting down the compressor if the power source – or the connection to the compressor – is briefly interrupted, then it re-attempts a soft start after a three-minute delay.
SoftStartRV is a compact, lightweight cost-effective soft start controller with fireproof housing, and sealed by resin.
As a result, it can withstand extreme weather, and survive in harsh environments (such as installation within outdoor rooftop air conditioner units).
This makes SoftStartRV a cost-effective RV air conditioner soft start kit solution with high reliability and longevity.
Find a good spot under the cover of the rooftop A/C unit. The SSRV3T3 unit should be securely, vertically installed on a vertical panel with wires at the bottom.
Each SoftStartRV unit comes complete with
hardware fasteners, and is also equipped with a heavy-duty adhesive bonding pad to mount to most any type of surface.

What the SoftStartRV does is manage the start-up power surge so that it doesn’t hit at once, but gradually, avoiding the huge power spike. This device can make a huge difference in your comfort.

Step 2:
– On the call, we’ll figure out the most convenient time and date for one of our local, pre-screened professionals to install your soft start product per our exact guidelines.
Step 3:
– The installation can take place wherever you designate, or at a local RV dealer outlet, if appropriate.
We handle payments to the installer to ensure you are 100% satisfied that your soft start unit works perfectly.
– Give the SoftStartRV or SoftStartHome product to the installer when they arrive at your location.
– Test the product to assure it works and is operating as expected after the installation.
– Relax and enjoy the cool (or warm) air whether you’re exploring the country or in the comfort of your home.
Most central air conditioner/heat pump units need a huge burst of electricity at start-up, and most backup power sources aren’t big enough to start them.
As a result, you freeze in winter or swelter in the heat waiting for the main power to be restored.
In fact, when used in emergencies where people rely on home medical equipment and comfort-controlled environments, it could be a lifesaver!
A SoftStart Home soft starter on a central air conditioner/heat pump lets you stay comfortable by allowing the A/C and heat pump to run. How?
SoftStart Home reduces A/C and heat pump startup demand by up to 70%!
It won’t MAKE power, but it allows you to START and RUN your cooling or heating with a small generator or battery backup power.
A SoftStartHome soft starter, when installed on a air conditioner or heat pump, works with backup generators, solar-energized battery power, and other auxiliary power systems to operate more devices than previously possible.
SoftStart Home™ lets you:
Reduces startup power demand by up to 70%. Delivers more efficient cooling and heating startup
with main and backup power sources. Helps keep
power demand down during peak periods.
No more loud knocks, vibrations or dim lights during startup.
Reduces stress on compressor; extends A/C and heat pump life.
Best warranty in the industry – 3 years with online registration.
Free 90-day trial. Super-easy return policy eliminates hassles.
Compatible with 115V-240V air conditioners worldwide; up to 6 tons (72,000 BTUs).
Works with most residential and commercial A/C and heat pump units.
