Why Do You Need A Scroll Compressor Soft Starter?

Many HVAC applications use scroll compressors because they find them to be more reliable and efficient than other compressor options. For example scroll compressors are generally 10% to 15% more efficient than piston compressors.

Interest in energy efficient HVAC solutions is growing which is making scroll compressors more popular. A problem with scroll compressors is they can take 3 to 4 cycles to start and there is a high inrush peak current until the compressor reaches its nominal speed/current.

While this high peak doesn't last for long, such a rapid inrush may cause issues such as lights flickering, triggering protection equipment, increased compressor noise and excessive stress on the compressor.

Of course, this is where we come in! Carlo Gavazzi's soft starters reduce high inrush currents and their negative side effects.

Carlo Gavazzi has soft starters designed specifically for scroll compressor applications in both single and 3 phase models.
