In this video I explain (and show) how to install a Micro Air Easy Start soft starter on my Carrier A/C condensing unit. The air conditioner in this video is only a 1.5 ton unit but it’s locked rotor amp rating is still fairly high at 48 amps. That is a lot of inrush current to over come for portable generators that are being used as a stand by generator. Or even for a solar power battery bank and inverter system. It’s very hard to start A/C systems when NOT using grid power. The Micro Air easy starter lowered my inrush amperage from 47 amps down to 15-16 amps for startup current. Not bad at all! Once I am finished with showing you the installation that i did, I then connect my Genmax 9000 inverter generator that I use for backup power when the grid goes down in my area. The 9000 Genmax is a little bit overkill for my needs now that I have the Micro Air Easy starter installed but having extra power is never a bad thing in my opinion. I can now have the eco throttle ON when running my generator to keep fuel consumption and noise levels down while running my AC. The Genmax 9000 barely makes a burp when my air conditioner starts up and then instantly goes back to idle. This Genmax 9000IED generator is a beast when paired with a Micro Air easy Start. It’s a great combination that’s hard to beat!
An article about the Micro Air easy Starter:
The Micro Air Easy Start has emerged as a game-changer in the air conditioning industry, specifically designed to address the challenges of starting and running AC systems using generators and solar power banks. This innovative device offers improved efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and an enhanced user experience. In this article, we explore the technical specifications and features of the Micro Air Easy Start, highlighting its significant impact on air conditioning technology and its role in enabling AC systems to operate efficiently with alternative power sources.
- Reducing Inrush Amperage for Generator and Solar Power Compatibility:
The Micro Air Easy Start was originally invented to solve the problem of high inrush amperage when starting air conditioning systems. Traditional AC units draw a significant surge of current during startup, which can overload generators or strain solar power banks. The Easy Start addresses this issue by significantly reducing inrush amperage by up to 75%. This technology allows AC systems to be easily started and efficiently operated with generators and solar power banks, expanding their usability in off-grid locations or during power outages. - Additional Features and Convenience:
Beyond its power compatibility features, the Micro Air Easy Start offers convenient features for users. With its built-in Bluetooth module, users can monitor and control the device remotely through a dedicated mobile application. Real-time information on voltage levels, power consumption, and operational status empowers users to optimize their AC system’s performance and energy efficiency.
Conclusion:
The Micro Air Easy Start was specifically designed to address the challenges of starting and operating air conditioning systems with generators and solar power banks. By significantly reducing inrush amperage and providing seamless integration with alternative power sources, the Easy Start enables efficient and reliable cooling in off-grid locations, during power outages, or when relying on solar power. This innovative device not only enhances system efficiency but also promotes sustainable energy use. Embracing the Micro Air Easy Start opens up new possibilities for air conditioning systems, allowing them to operate effectively with generators and solar power, and contributing to a greener and more accessible future for cooling technology.
