The ICM870-16A Soft Start is a revolutionary appliance part that integrates compressor or motor in-rush current over startup time, reducing peak current demand by up to 70%. Compatible with 2-stage HVAC units like B51-901, each 2-stage unit with two compressors requires two ICM870 units. Ideal for residential, commercial, RV & marine applications, it utilizes a built-in self-learning algorithm to deliver optimal in-rush current. With the ability to monitor system health and provide fault information, this soft start halts operation when necessary and initiates a 3-minute anti-short cycle routine.
