Reduce your RV air conditioner startup power demand by up to 75 percent and eliminate that loud, clunking compressor noise. Start and run your AC without the fear of tripping a breaker or overloading your generator.
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).
If you've ever worried your air conditioner would trip the breaker just as you're drifting off to sleep, or dreaded that loud, clunking start in the middle of the night, this soft start will help you relax. Once you install this device into your Penguin II, your AC compressor starts up quietly and smoothly. Your RV stays comfortable and your sleep stays undisturbed.
You want to stay off-grid, visit state parks, or camp in the mountains, but small generators or limited hookups make running your AC tough. This soft start reduces startup demand by up to 75%, letting you power your Penguin II air conditioner on a smaller generator, at altitude, or alongside your coffee maker. And it's d esigned to resist vibration, flames, dust, and rain, this unit is made for life on the move. An integrated bypass contactor and start capacitor keep your AC safe, even in tough conditions. So wherever you camp, you can enjoy more places and longer trips without worrying about power limits.
It's frustrating to worry about repairs or replacement costs on the road. By smoothing out every start, this soft start limits the strain on your AC's motor and compressor, helping prevent wear and extend the life of your system, so you get more reliable cooling season after season.
Nobody wants a complicated install, especially when you're ready to hit the road. This controller is pre-wired and mounts right inside your rooftop unit with included hardware. Three built-in LEDs show you status and help diagnose any issues fast, so you spend less time troubleshooting and more time enjoying your adventure.
