Coleman Mach 1497-3601 RV Air Conditioner Soft StarterThe Coleman Mach Soft Start Kit reduces inrush amperage up to 75% and lessens overall power consumption. Can be used in new Coleman-Mach AC units or retrofitted into existing Coleman Mach units.Reduced Power SurgeThe primary advantage of an RV soft starter is its ability to reduce the power surge or inrush current that occurs when the air conditioner’s compressor motor starts. The EasyStart can deliver 65-75% start current reduction as compared to a compressor’s LRA (locked-rotor amperage). By employing a controlled start ramp sequence and optimizing the motor’s startup, the soft starter minimizes the initial power surge. This reduction in power surge helps prevent voltage drops, circuit overloads, and potential damage to the electrical system of the RV. It also alleviates strain on components such as capacitors and relays, extending their lifespan and reducing the likelihood of premature failures.
