pianotuna, How does an autoformer help with starting the a/c ?
IN many parks the voltage is a bit shy of 120. (I've seen shy of 90) and the autoformer will "Boost" the voltage so the compressor can start properly.. The your choice of Soft or Hard start (I'm told hard is the proper term) kit also reduces the load on the electrical system at compressor start and further improves the situation.
I run both and they work well together. The Autoformer continues to boost while the compressor is running. if the voltage drops too low the compressor can stall. especially in high heat conditions like we have had lately. And parks with low voltage issues.. More likely when more folks are using A/C as they do in the high heat conditions we have had recently
now it's time for COFFEE because there is no life before COFFEE and it's done brewing.
