Description

Are you worried about your RV Air Conditioner wearing out? Does your generator struggle and stall when you turn your AC on? Introducing the new RecPro RV Air-Conditioning Softstarter - designed to make your RV AC unit last longer and run smoother.

Why You Need An RV Soft Starter
RV air conditioners can cause a massive spike in power draw when you start them up, which happens when the AC tries to get the compressor moving. This power spike only lasts a split second, but in that split second, the AC unit tries to get the compressor to go from a standstill to full power. To put it in simpler terms, it’s like going from sitting down to sprinting as fast as you can in less time than it takes to blink.

Naturally, this power spike can be pretty rough on your generator or power system and can often cause smaller generators to stall, as in that split second, the AC draws more power than the generator is capable of producing. The power spike can also be very damaging to your Air Conditioner, causing increased wear and tear on its compressor.

Our RecPro RV Soft Starter helps eliminate these problems, protecting your RV air conditioner and helping it last longer. This soft starter reduces that huge spike of startup current by up to 75%, allowing your AC to start up in a far more calm and gentle manner. This reduces stress and wear on your compressor, helps prevent your generator from stalling, and reduces annoying startup noise.

The New RV AC Soft Starter From RecPro
RecPro’s new RV AC soft starter is a thing of beauty built with convenience. Our soft starter is compatible with a wide range of AC units (up to 20k BTU) and comes equipped with all the features necessary to protect your motor from short power outages and excess current use.

Our RV AC soft starter is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and easy to install. All this device needs is access to your AC compressor’s Run, Start, and Common wires, so you do not need to fiddle around with overly complicated wiring or deal with any learning cycles. Additionally, its small, compact, lightweight size makes it easy to stick it in a corner or on a wall where it is out of the way.

Soft start with included wiring.Includes:                  

  • 1 Soft Starter Unit
  • 6 Splice Connectors
  • 1 Alcohol Wipe
  • 1 Instruction Set

Our RV soft starter features an integrated delay function that helps limit the number of motor starts per hour while its smooth switching capabilities seamlessly transition between inverter, generator, or campsite power.

Reduces startup current for your AC by up to 75%.Using up to 75% less startup current for your AC than standard systems, this AC soft starter reduces high inrush currents without compromising torque levels to protect your compressor from stalling at low voltages. What's more? A bright LED fault indicator light alerts you when there's an issue so that you can fix it before it becomes a bigger problem. Should a fault occur, the built-in internal delay timer will provide protection against fast cycling, as well as power reversal protection from short power outages.

If you're looking for a device to protect your RV AC made with quality materials, look no further than the RecPro RV Air-Conditioning Softstarter! Enjoy the freedom and convenience of having your own mobile air conditioning system on any road trip or outdoor adventure this summer without fear!
