Hey Brains Trust,
I am wondering if any of the air-con guys out there have ever had any experiance with retrofitting a soft start kit to a air conditioner system.
I have a 7kw cassette that is dimming the lights in my house every time the compressor fires (before you ask its wired correctly, own circuit, correct wiring etc)
I spoke to my air-con guy, and he has suggested a soft starter capacitor kit; only issue is I am unable to find a retrofit kit in perth!
I am wondering where i can chase down one of these kits, and also if anyone has any experiance with them (ie: do they actually work?) I would assume it would work as I have another 7kw wall mounted unit that has a soft starter from factory and it doesnt dip the lights at all.
This dimming is driving me nuts, expecially now that the heating mode is on and the compressor fires up every 15 minutes!
Cheers for your time
