Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi RSBT4016EV11HP Soft Starter?

The Carlo Gavazzi RSBT4016EV11HP is a compact three-phase high-pressure soft starter for scroll compressors designed to reduce starting current and provide smooth acceleration of compressor motors in HVAC, heat pump and refrigeration applications. As part of the advanced Carlo Gavazzi RSBT HP soft starter series, it uses a patented auto-adaptive algorithm specifically optimised for demanding compressor starts and high-pressure starting conditions.

This soft starter provides reliable compressor motor starting control while helping reduce electrical inrush current, mechanical stress and system vibration during startup. The RSBT4016EV11HP features integrated bypass technology, LED status indication and a compact DIN rail mounting design for straightforward installation inside electrical control panels.

With a rated current of 16 A, a 220–400 V AC three-phase operating voltage range and a 110–400 V AC control voltage, the RSBT4016EV11HP is designed for three-phase scroll compressor applications requiring reliable starting performance, including high-pressure and multi-compressor systems.
