Does AC soft start work on any AC
Hi I have a 2kw victron energy multiplus inverter. When I tried to start a 800w AC in my van the inverted stopped because it took too much current. A friend recommended me now a soft starter to reduce...

About the ac I am not fixed. Still figuring out what's possible. I just used one which was around. But it won't be the one installed. My calculation was under the assumption to have it cool in the night offgrid. So about 6-7h. But less is ok also. Let's say I have a 1kw AC. The room is about 2*4m. I have 400aH 14.4v-15v. I want the temperature from outside 32c down to 26-27c. So I was assuming that the compressor is on 50-70% of the running time. That would give me 500wh to 700wh. In 7 hours about 3500wh - 4900 wh. My batteries are capable to deliver 5800wh. At least that's my rough calculation. Hope it makes sense
