2. How It Protects Air Conditioners
SHUYI’s soft start for air conditioner works through:
- Gradual Voltage Increase: Starts with 30% of full voltage, rising steadily over 3–8 seconds.
- Current Limitation: Keeps inrush current below 3x the compressor’s rated current, vs. 6–8x with direct startup.
- Reduced Wear: Lowers mechanical stress on compressor motors and refrigerant lines.
3. Key Benefits for AC Systems
- Energy Savings: Cuts startup energy use by 40%, reducing monthly electricity bills significantly.
- Extended Lifespan: Adds 3–5 years to AC units by minimizing wear on compressors and capacitors.
- Stable Power Grid: Prevents voltage drops that disrupt other devices on the same circuit.
4. Ideal Applications
Perfect for:
- Commercial Buildings: Offices, hotels, and malls with multiple large AC units.
- Industrial Facilities: Factories using rooftop AC systems for climate control.
- Hospitals: Ensures uninterrupted cooling for critical areas like operating rooms.
5. Why Choose SHUYI’s Soft Start?
- Compact Design: 40% smaller than other soft starter, fits easily in AC control boxes.

- Easy Installation: Plug-and-play wiring reduces setup time to under 30 minutes.
- Durable Build: Withstands temperatures from -10°C to 70°C, suitable for harsh environments.
