Electric soft starter for appliances
Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2014 8:17 pm
My mobile home is off grid, so we use solar and wind power for electricity. I've heard in the past of some device that you can plug a refrigerator into that prevents it from having a huge power surge when the compressor comes on. A friend of mine thought it might be called a soft starter, but I was unable to find anything on Amazon.com or the web with that name.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Would using such a device damage my components inside my refrigerator?
Thanks!
