Introducing the ActiveStart 30 AMP Softstarter
I may have missed it but what size is this AC unit? 4/5 ton? Thank you
In the video is a 3 ton AC unit but the 40 amp version is ideal for Residential Home systems, Marine air Conditioners or Commercial units drawing less than 40 amps this is typically 6 tons or less.
this is great. As a 30amp owner, can I trade my old version in now to update to the new version in this video?
Please email customerservice@active-controlsllc.com, and we can discuss the options.
Is it on the website yet?
Yes this product is available now on our website. Here is the direct link active-controls-llc.myshopify.com/products/activestart-softstart-30-amp-acs30ps
Does the 30 amp plug and play have the same performance as the hardwired unit? I believe you said the hard wired was at 80 percent
Our plug and play has a starting current reduction rate of about 50%
Is this UL listed, and can it be used to reduce the massive and disturbing jolt when these portable ACs experience when the compressor first kicks in? Thanks!
I heard you fine. what I didn't hear was whether I should get 2 soft starts and wire them into my two different (carrier) and (Coleman) rooftop units with my 30 amp shore power to run both or whether I should get the plug an play to run them both
$460.00 for this product. thats why people are taking apart there ac units
I bought a ACS30P for an 11,500 BTU Cool Cat AC/Heat pump. I have a 2200w surge inverter generator (1800w run rated) and it looks like the numbers work out fine for running it, but will I have issues with the plain 30amp model on a 2200w surge 1800w run inverter generator? Thanks!
Nice! I run a victron inverter and 16kWh battery as backup. Less noice but when it runs out that diesel/petrol generator is saving the day.
It's December 2023. Can it now be purchased? I have a 3 ton unit. Thanks
Hi JD, Yes. We have been selling the product on our website. Let us know if you have any questions.
Can you have a wired active start and the plug in active start in use at the same time
Yes you can and will not interfere with each other. We will be showing that in our next video. It is also already commonly used as part of RV setups as well when they have both units.
Almost 1000 dollars no thank you I installed 2 soft starts for less than 500 dollars on both of my acs on my camper
When will this be available? I just bought the regular one on Amazon. I’m running a 4000 watt inverter to run an air compressor on a work van.
It is available now! Here is the link active-controls-llc.myshopify.com/products/activestart-softstart-inverter-model-acs20pim-s
Nice
I saw a link for your page on an Rv site on Facebook. A happy customer had shared it. First let me compliment you on this very well done field video. Your presentation gives great information about the ac and connecting as well as equally important safety precautions. This unit installed. At the end your unit is running on the soft start. Is your fan a multi speed one? Or is the video playing tricks and its not going slow. Im investigating a unit for my camper and have seversl other " tech like " questions thanks Joe
@joegifford1668 Hi Joe...its one of those tricks video and spinning objects! I have a single speed compressor and single speed fan. You can post questions here or contact us directly. I'll be happy to answer them.
@activecontrolsllc ok I have 2 Wen inverter 4k peak 3500 rated generators. Each have a 30 amp plug I can plug in my TT and have and it works my camper. I also have the parallel kit to connect both and end up with a 50 amp plug. I intend to install a 50 amp plug on my house going to either a panel interlock or a 50 amp interlock switch panel. Now. I am wondering if I should get a 50 amp plug starter. And I have seen the app and can this be used with one of my gens with the 30 amp plug and an adapter for my camper as well as the whole house? Possibly a single gen on the house as needed? Both not needed most of the time
@@joegifford1668 Yes. That is correct. I have another video showing that running on my house as well. Having the wired version on the home AC combined with the 50 amp unit I can easily run my whole house on my 7500 peak generator. The best solution is with the wired unit on the AC which allows you to use a smaller generator instead of like a 13KW or 15KW.
Got my 20a model yesterday, thanks for the super fast shipping! I'll probably go ahead and get your hard wired kit for my hvac system to run on a predator 8750.
Yes. It will work very nicely on the predator. I have another customer that was able to start 4 ton on a 9kw generator on propane in eco-mode! I was actually blown away by the results!
Did the AC have a wired dedicated soft start attached? Of did the active start run the AC by itself?
do you have a home assistant intergration?
Hi Travis...Not sure I understand the question but feel free to email me at techsupport@active-controlsllc.com
@@activecontrolsllc I dont onow if your bluetooth protcol is open, allowing devices to parse the data it provides to the phone app. Home Assistant is a community driven home automation service which allows its users to check on device status and even create automations based on events. Imagine if both you hot water and ac are on and you have automatic transfer switch turn on generator and your device shows it load and you create an automation based on generator is on and hot water and AC to turn off hot water heater during power outages.
@@TravisPickle Our protocol isn't open right now but have things in the works for some future integration with some automation planned maybe utilizing digital controlled breakers.
We need one for solar system inverters
When are you coming out with one for Solar inverter?
Will active soft start 50 amp work with a rv ac unit and a portable ac unit on shore power?
i think the 30 amp would be better because you would have to convert the 50amp plug for the portable generator
Hello, I have an AC200MAX and a 10k BTU mini split it's a Rolli Cool P800. It's an older style that is not inverter based so it surges. I can get my Bluetti to start the AC but it usually trips a low voltage alarm. Would this product resolve this? Would I need the 20amp or 30amp version of this product? Thanks
Is the low voltage fault from the Bluetti or the Rolli Cool? Normally after a unit starts its the running amps that the power source has to be able to handle and this case the Bluetti. Our devices only reduce the startup surge not the running amps. If it trips low voltage right away than reducing the surge will help in that scenario. I am currently testing my inverter model for this type of application.
@@activecontrolsllc I'm pretty sure it's on the Bluetti end. The compressor tries to start and the 200max faults right away. The 200 resets the inverter ( the DC loads stay on so it's not a hard crash) when it comes up again the AC will try again after a few mins sometimes it works other times this cycle repeats and eventually starts. Since it seems strained I haven't used it with the 200. My fear is it will get to temp turn off and won't restart or go into this false start cycle.
@@activecontrolsllc I have decided to roll the dice and give this product a try (20 amp version) I will let you know how it goes. 👍
@@activecontrolsllc it worked! No more low voltage alarms for the ac200max! So happy thank you!
@@solarpunk5950 That's awesome and thankyou for letting us know.
This is awesome, i would love to demo and review this.
Hello. I have basically the same trailer and generator. Is it updated to work now or will I have to send it in as well? Thanks
All units are updated now, no need to have to send it in.
@@activecontrolsllc thank you
@@activecontrolsllc I have the same generator and the same AC, can't get it to work with my 30 amp adapted down to a 20 amp plug. Is there something I can do to make that work?
@@nrogers901 Hi Nathan... The things that may effect your results are altitude if you are at any elevation remember your generator output is decreased by 3.5% every 1000 ft. The other item that may change the results is the run capacitor on your unit if it has an issue. Lastly it could our starter as well. Can you tell me your exact symptoms. What faults are you getting in the app?
Very nice owner/founder great customer service . He is helping me tremendously. Customer Service 10/ out of 10. Thank you Sir , don’t hesitate to support this business and products . Definitely recommend
Do you think it’s possible to create a RV AC which has mini-split efficiency and power draw? I installed a 9K btu mini-split, 22 seer, in an off-grid tiny house, and it is whisper quiet with low power draw on the batteries. Got me to thinking there is room to improve RV rooftop units.
Hi Charlie...absolutely they can. I worked at Dometic Marine to introduce variable speed technology in the marine AC space and I know the RV division was also working on it as well. Most RV OEM's do not want to pay extra right now for the technology although the consumer does. Once solar powered inverters become more popular they will quickly have to adapt!
@@activecontrolsllc I’ve seen your videos showing the 80% peak current reduction. Does the active soft start have any measurable change to the units overall power efficiency?
Please get a decent mic for your videos... Also, you should explain what you mean about using the wired version "for inverters" as opposed to the plug and play version for A/Cs??? No idea what that means...
I agree..I need to use my mic a bit more even in my office. I will make a follow-up video to explain the differences in technology. Thankyou.
Interested watched on GAVIN'S GARAGE... Can we use the Active Start 20amp on our 5500watt/4000W champion gas inverter generator and our Keystone springdale 24ft with A/C Furrion 15.5K ...I already put the app on my cell but on setting has up to 4500W Medium Generator, assuming that's what we'd choose. Or should we get the 30amp? Oh and do both models come with the bonding plug and dog bone? thanks :)
Hello...Yes you can although I am surprised you need it with that size generator. The 30 amp comes with dogbone and 20 amp with bonding plug standard. I would select the 3000 watt setting for best results.
@@activecontrolsllc thanks!
I saw it can be used on home a/c too!
I have and AC200max, and i bought the active start. I cant get it to run my roof top AC on the 16ft trailer. It runs light and everything low volt, but once i kick on ac it trips. Any suggestions
What size is your rooftop unit? I have done some testing with my Bluetti but it really depends on the size of the unit. I have also mentioned the best solution is the wired version for inverter applications.
I can't hear you, I have all the volumes turned up. I imagine your info was good though
Sorry...I didn't have my mic on and thought I was speaking loud enough but evidently I was wrong. 😂
Can this work on a refrigerator as well?
Yes it will work with a refrigerator as well if running on a generator but not on a solar generator or small inverter setup.
I have just received 20 amp one, it did not work on my 13,500 ac for my camping trailer with 2300 w generator. Do I need 30 amp one?
Hi...If you tried both the 2000 watt generator and 2000 inverter settings with no luck please give me a call so we can troubleshoot further. Are you getting any faults? Based on that size generator you do not need the 30 amp version.
Can this be used on a 2 wire 240V well pump? My inverter generator takes a pretty good dip when the well kicks in.
Yes it can but I have a product coming out specifically for well pumps. This unit will be very expensive just for that application.
Hello! Im interested in using one of these with the new Jackery 3000 solar generator to power up my RV but most importantly my air conditioner. My AC unit is 15,000 BTUh...will this work?
Hi..I have done some testing with the Bluetti with success but it really depends on the inverter and if it can handle that momentary surge and how many other things you have running when the AC starts. Hard to say with a 15K BTU. You are welcome to try it and if it doesn't work we can process a return. In these cases I tell customers the wired version is the best option for inverters.
@@activecontrolsllc thanks for the response! Yeah seems like the solar generators aren't quite there yet to power AC efficiently but maybe a few years down the road it will be good! Either way I definitely want to get one of these when traveling and using campsites. I've had a lot of friends recommending it!
Why is there modifications required? Is there a GFCI circuit integrated into the soft start?
The change I made for his unit had to do with the low voltage detect time and there is no GFCI circuit integrated in our unit.
@@activecontrolsllc would that work for a 2000w Chmpion as well?
@@aericadiponzio3965 Hi it really depends on your AC size. The champion 2000 is a good generator but it will not start a 15K btu and a 13.5K will be close but a wired version that we also offer will make it seamless for the 2000 watt generator regardless of the AC size.
@@aericadiponzio3965 It really depends on the size of the AC. A 2000 W will not do a 13.5 or 15K BTU but it should be good with anything smaller.
Where can I get that kit ?
Hey how are you doing I'm trying g to figure out how can I get one of those for my self can I use you as a Sponsor on my race bike thanks .

Why doesn't manufactures install door start?
What do you mean by "door start"?
I think what Tony is asking is why don't the manufacturers install soft starts themselves on the units or have the capabilities built in. I guess one could argue the variable units do.
This is a must have during hurricane season. Love it!
Nice. Can’t wait
Perfect products, very good quality and best service!! Activestart is the best VFDs, Carel Products, Bluetti Solar products supplier!!
Awesome! Congratulations on the release 👏
Talking about AC unit power is great when power goes out during a hurricane or tropical or bad weather events. How will this work during a Cold weather event like Freezing Ice and Snow storm when using the Heating side of the system?
Hi Bobby, If you have a Heat Pump the unit will work the same way to start your compressor. A heatpump just has a reversing valve for the refrigerant flow but the actual compressor will start in the same fashion any typically draws a little more in heat mode due to the pressure but we will still softstart it the same way.
Great info and wish you much success with your products. Already have installed a "soft start" on my A/C and an plug-in EMS. One suggestion, if I may, is you might want to consider a lavalier mic for your videos.
Yes...all new videos have me mic'd up for clarity. Thankyou.
Nice product, I could sure use one of these
love the product but if your going to do more videos please get a better mic. Its very poor audio quality. very hard to hear with my old ears.😉
Thankyou for the feedback and I agree so I have ordered a mic for future videos. 😀
waiting for your 50 amp version. is there a ETA on its release
Hello...The 50 amp is going through internal testing now and will be available in March for ordering. Register on our website to get our newsletter with updates.
Impressive!
First, may I suggest that use a directional lapel microphone to minimize background noise or, during editing of your video , cut the background noise 90% and add your message as a voice over. (I wasn't able to hear your presentation and that's a shame because you do provide a lot of useful information in your videos.) Second, I'd like to know if your ActiveStart devices provide soft start to motors other than compressors; specifically a 3/4 HP, 240v well pump requiring 3kW starting power (LRA). I'm interested in the ACSW4W16 model for that purpose.
Hi Bill, I completely agree with you as this was one of our first videos and I wanted the viewers to know and hear the generators running and it didn't turn out quite like what I was wanting....lesson learned! I've had other customers ask me this question about the pumps and as long as your pump has a PSC motor you can use a softstart on it. That is basically a Run Capacitor installed on it. We have just launched the ACS4W40 and the 16 will follow in March.
@@activecontrolsllc Thank you for the reply. I have some other questions I'll send through your website customer service contact.
Could this be used to soft start a well pump?
Hi...it can as long as the pump has a PSC motor. Basically means it has a run capacitor mounted to it. Contact us with info and I can look closer at it.
Ok, I have purchased your ActiveStart SoftStart ACS30P 30AMP unit for my RV to run it with my 3500w generator or my Titan Solar Generator. Looking at your channel here, I am wondering if it would work for my house if get a professional to wire a transfer switch or sub panel to connect a generator in case of a power outage? Or, do I need to get this new product you make that wires directly to my unit? My house AC unit is Goodman Model GSH130421AF Max breaker amp 30. Min. circ amps 22.1. voltage range 197-253 phase 1 hertz 60. p.s. I am really impressed with your informative website and youtube channel. I am a small business owner and I try to support other small business, especially veteran owned. Thank you for your service to this country.
Hi Stacy, Thankyou and these are great questions. I was actually going to do another video this week to help users pick what's best for the application. In this case the ACS30P is only for 115 VAC application which means it would not work well for your house. The wired version directly on the AC would be the best option for the home with current offerings and you will be able to run that unit off of your generator without any issues. I am planning the same thing for my house and that will be another video coming soon. I have the 50 amp version of the plug and play that will be available in Feb timeframe that will handle the rest of the house and could be wired with transfer switch as you have described and give complete emergency backup capability without the need for an extremely large generator.
