16-32A AC Soft Starter w/ Reverse Motor Protection For 4-7 Ton AC Install Kit

16-32A AC Soft Starter for 4-7 Ton AC Install Kit

This AC soft starter with reverse motor protection reduces inrush current during compressor startup and guards against reverse rotation for 4-7 ton AC install kits.

Overview

The 16-32A AC Soft Starter for 4-7 Ton AC Install Kit is a solid-state motor controller that gently ramps up voltage to your compressor, minimizing electrical and mechanical stress. Designed for HVAC technicians and installers, this soft starter extends compressor life and prevents nuisance tripping on 4-7 ton residential or light commercial air conditioning systems. Its integrated reverse motor protection ensures the compressor spins in the correct direction after every power cycle, making it a reliable 16-32A AC soft starter for demanding cooling applications.

Built For Performance

• Adjustable current range from 16A to 32A to match 4-7 ton compressors

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Can this soft starter be used with scroll compressors? A: Yes, it is compatible with scroll, reciprocating, and rotary compressors; just ensure the amp setting is within the 16-32A window for your specific 4-7 ton unit.

Q: Does the reverse motor protection work instantly after a brownout? A: The reverse protection monitors phase sequence on every start; if a brownout or brief interruption occurs, the starter will verify correct rotation before full voltage is applied, typically within one second.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
