A soft start is an electronic device designed to help single-phase motors, such as those used in air conditioners, start smoothly and quietly. By gradually increasing the voltage and current to the motor, a softstart RV device significantly reduces the initial power surge that typically occurs during motor startup. This not only minimizes wear and tear on the motor and associated equipment but also helps with noise reduction and vibration. Soft starters are commonly used in various residential and commercial applications, including HVAC systems, pumps, and fans, to ensure a smooth and quiet operation.

The benefits of having a soft start for an RV air conditioner are substantial. Soft starts allow for more efficient energy use and help reduce the wear and tear on your compressor motor. With its innovative adaptive learning technology, this compact and weatherproof device reduces startup current by up to 75%. Enjoy RV'ing in remote areas using a small generator with our EasyStart Breeze to ensure AC comfort. Limited power supply or small generator? Not a probelm anymore!

In addition, customers can register for an extended warranty for their rv air conditioner compressor motor when installing EasyStart on an RV Rooftop air conditioner that is six years old or less.

• Our EasyStart Breeze is NOT a Hard Start or overly expensive Brownout device that other companies offer. Our product is a ture soft starter device.
• The overall size of the IP65 enclosure has been significantly reduced, making it the smallest in the Easystart family of soft starter products, including the mount. (Breeze model)
• Improved startup current reduction and product reliability are a direct result of all-new hardware and software refinement. Our advanced technology and quality controls further increase performance and longevity of an air conditioner.
• Our sophisticated multi-start, one-time, resettable learning algorithm is designed to optimize performance and overall efficiency by reducing the starting amps. Perfect for use with a portable generator when shore power isnt available.
• Highly efficient Power Interruption and Brownout protection to prevent potential damage due to immediate restart attempts.
• Our advanced intelligent short-cycle delay timer provides the necessary delay to any short-cycle restart while preventing unnecessary delay for normal-cycle restarts. This reduces any potential damage and wear and tear on the RV AC, ensuring its longevity.
• Precise Overcurrent and Stall detection to protect harmful sustained or abrupt low-voltage conditions. It's designed to safeguard your air conditioner compressor and ensure that your system remains reliable and long-lasting.

The EasyStart Breeze stands out as a one-of-a-kind, UL-listed product specifically designed for RV air conditioners. Unlike other softstart RV products, the EasyStart Breeze is compatible with every RV air conditioner and nearly all marine air conditioning systems. Its portability allows it to be used with portable, medium-sized to small generators, and limited utility power, making it incredibly versatile when shore power is not avaialble. Additionally, the EasyStart Breeze features an integrated mounting flange and a 40” wiring harness, simplifying the installation process on AC units. This unique combination of features makes the EasyStart Breeze a superior choice for RV enthusiasts.

When it comes to starting an air conditioner motor, the traditional “hard start capacitor” method and the EasyStart Breeze are worlds apart. A hard start involves applying the full voltage and current to the motor all at once, leading to high inrush currents that can cause significant wear and tear on the motor and associated equipment. This abrupt start can be harsh on your compressor, often resulting in reduced lifespan and reliability.

In contrast, our soft start employs a gradual start-up process. By slowly ramping up the voltage and current, it significantly reduces the inrush current, thereby minimizing wear and tear. This gentle approach not only protects your motor but also ensures a smoother and quieter start. The EasyStart Breeze is a more reliable and durable solution for starting air conditioners in RVs and boats.

Yes, you can run an RV air conditioner on solar power, but it requires a well-designed system. Since AC units consume a lot of energy, you’ll need a sufficient number of high-wattage solar panels, a robust battery bank (preferably lithium), and a powerful inverter. The EasyStart Breeze™ can help reduce the AC’s startup power surge. While solar can work, factors like panel space, energy storage, and weather conditions impact reliability. For a full breakdown of requirements and potential challenges, check out our detailed guide to running an AC with solar power in an RV.

Using an RV soft start, such as the Easy Start Breeze, offers numerous benefits, including:

• Adaptive Learning and Optimization Technology: This advanced feature ensures efficient operation by learning and adapting to your air conditioner’s specific needs.
• Significant Reduction in Start Current: The Easy Start can reduce the start current by up to 75%, making it easier to run your air conditioner on limited power sources.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for single-phase air conditioning motors operating at 100-120VAC, 50Hz, or 60Hz, and compatible with both AC and DC motors.
• Compact Design: Its integrated mounting flange and compact size make installation a breeze, even in tight spaces.
• Wide Application Range: Whether you have an RV rooftop air conditioner or a basement air conditioner, the Easy Start is designed to fit seamlessly.

The benefits of using the MicroAir Easy Soft Start are numerous:

• Reduced Wear and Tear: By minimizing the inrush current, our soft start significantly reduces wear and tear on the RV air conditioner motor and associated equipment.
• Less Noise and Vibration: Enjoy a quieter environment with less start-up noise and vibration.
• Extended Motor Lifespan: The gentle start-up process helps increase the lifespan of your motor.
• Flexibility in Power Sources besides shore power: The Easy Soft Start allows you to run your air conditioner on limited utility power or with medium-sized portable generators, enhancing your flexibility. A great addition when using solar power. Works great with an inverter generator.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for various applications, including RV rooftop and basement air conditioners, making it a versatile choice for different setups.
