Nu-Calgon 5010-10 NuStart Compressor Soft Starter, Single Phase, 110/115VAC, 12-20A FLA/RLA

Description

NuStart is a soft starter and protection device for scroll compressors in HVAC/R systems. NuStart uses current-based motor control to optimize start-up of the scroll compressor. In doing so, significant reductions in-rush current and motor torque result. End-user benefits include: reduction in start-up noise and vibration, eliminates light flicker and nuisance circuit breaker trips at start-up, reduction in contactor arcing, and less mechanical stress of the compressor, compressor mounts, and connected refrigerant piping during start-up. Lowering the inrush current of the compressor allows for more efficient start-up with off-grid solutions such as solar/battery systems or other back-up power sources – allows the use of a smaller generator.

NuStart provides another level of protection for the scroll compressor in the HVAC/R system. NuStart offers reverse motor (scroll) protection, plus under voltage protection to prevent motor stalling at start-up or during operation in low voltage (brownout) events. The device also provides overcurrent protection to prevent the compressor from operating beyond a preset level. NuStart provides additional compressor protection – it is NOT a replacement for any primary circuit breaker or an overload protection device, nor is it a surge protector.

Application:

NuStart is the premier solution to start and protect scroll compressors in the HVAC/R market. The OEM approved technology is the most trusted in the HVAC/R market – with years of global installations.

NuStart is the most compact device available allowing for the easiest installation inside the condensing unit. In addition, the device provides unique advantages that many competing products don’t offer including: reverse scroll protection technology, hard start time out feature, and best market line-up with single and three phase options for residential and commercial systems.

Features:

• Most Compact Soft Starter in the Market
• Compatible with Modern Scroll Technologies
• Reduces In-Rush Current by 60–70%
• Lowers Start-Up Torque by 30–40%
• Reduces Compressor and Refrigerant Piping Stress
• Reduces Start-Up Noise and Vibration
• Eliminates Light Flicker at Start-Up
• Reverse Motor Protection
• Under Voltage and Overcurrent Protection
• Compatible with Major Utility Regulations
• Easy Retrofit

NuStart is designed for modern scroll compressor technologies in the HVAC/R market – single stage, dual stage, and digital type scroll compressor types. Do NOT use NuStart for inverter type scroll compressors. For other compressor types, contact Nu-Calgon.

NuStart must be selected on proper electrical phase, RLA, and LRA of the compressor stated on the nameplate of the condensing unit. Use NuStart for the following systems equipped with scroll compressors:

Air Conditioning, Heat Pumps, Chillers, Refrigeration

NuStart model 5010-10 requires 115VAC power input is intended for including marine or RV possibilities or outlier stationary HVAC system requiring this input.
