I have some questions here about applying soft starters for air conditioner's compressors:-
1) What exactly is "anti short cycle" of air conditioner's compressors? Someone told me that "anti short cycle" time (typically 3 minutes) is required in order for the pressure inside the compressor to stable down so that it would not draw huge current when start again after the last stop, is this right?
2) If I was using a soft starter to start a air conditioner's compressor, do I still need the "anti short cycle" period? or I can just start the compressor immediately after it stopped?
3) If I did not apply the "anti short cycle" timer, will this damage the compressor?
Please kindly advice!
Cheers!
