What's your experience? We need it in an application with 2 x 240V Unithé Hermétique compressors of 2HP
Hi Peter
have not seen/used them personally but like the idea they are plug and play
some can be a right pain setting up, so this would suit me nicely

I retro fitted a load of these to Danfoss ASHP units a while back .To comply with the SEI regs over here.
Nice and handy .
Although the ones supplied by Danfoss had been rebadged and were white.But thats definitely the same unit. Good piece of kit.
Cheers

Would this be suitable for low voltage situations?
I go to many dairy farms, where low voltage is a problem. The overloads keep tripping, capacitors blow up or read low. Causing wires to go brittle/melt just generally causing problems
and having to regurlarly go back to fix.
Has anyone used these kind of things on 5.5hp scrolls single phase, Currently we wire just a 70 micro farad capactitor, But as we all no they are not great starters. And intermidant breakers/overloads trip causing hassle.
Could do with a good solution, it would save them getting me out of bed at 5am.
Soft starters are a the best starting device for comressors.
easy on the supply net and helps the life span of the compressor.
