Arrives before Christmas 
If your AC is running and you trip a breaker by turning on an appliance, this soft start fixes that. It's hardwired for security and lets you run 2 AC units. And it lets you monitor power in real time from your phone.
A soft start device reduces the initial inrush current when an AC compressor kicks on. Instead of that harsh power spike that can trip breakers or overload generators, the soft start gradually ramps up the compressor's motor, making it easier to start an AC unit on limited power sources (like small generators, shore power, or inverters).
When summer heat hits hard, two air conditioners make all the difference. This hardwired module is connected inside your 50-amp RV to run two AC units. Because it cuts your AC's compressor spikes up to 50 percent, you can run your AC and other appliances together with no interruptions or tripped breakers. Redundancy means there are two independent circuits inside the device. Each one handles one leg of your 50-amp RV power cord. If one circuit fails, the other keeps working so you don't lose all your power or air conditioning, keeping you comfortable. If you want to optimize your setup, you can even program the startup power. It's designed to be waterproof, UV-proof, and anti-tamper, so it's ideal for long-term installation and year-round travel. Install it once, and you're good to go.
The mobile app makes it easy to check real-time voltage and status for your power system. View and adjust settings right from your phone for added control and peace of mind. Plus, if you're a DIYer or technician, this device has diagnostic LED indicators and self-check functions inside the unit to make troubleshooting simple.

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at our Active Controls ActiveStart hardwired soft start for the RVs rated at 50 amps. So, folks, with this, you're gonna be able to experience a quieter startup that's gonna ease your compressor load on the AC, on your pumps, your refrigerators, those kind of electrical components, thus making your RV evenings more peaceful, quiet, and efficient. So what this does is it's gonna have dual soft start circuits. So two independent circuits are gonna cover both legs of that 50-amp power cord.
What that means, it's gonna have a smart startup efficiency, it's gonna reduce the high startup amps, and even those low-wattage generators. So it can power your air conditioner without overloading everything. It is built-in. So everything underneath here is like a circuit board. You'll wire everything up and then enjoy a hassle-free camp setup with power wired directly into the RV.
Now, this uses advanced tech apps. So you've got three different QR codes here. You can scan them for Apple, Android, and then the one over here is for their website itself if you need any help setting everything up. It also has a detailed system of data output that you can show via Bluetooth for the tech-savvy users out there on those devices. As you can see, you got an in and an out, and that's gonna be for the wires to go in and everything.
So pretty lightweight. Again, not much to it other than the circuit board inside and all the wires and everything. And then, you have all your connections here to crimp down, once you get everything installed, and a bunch of screws for installation. (circuit board clinking) Well, folks, that is gonna wrap it up for our quick look together at this ActiveStart Active Controls soft start. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
And as always, have a good one.
