Product Description

The Nu-Calgon NuStart 5010-21 is a single-phase soft starter designed to reduce compressor inrush current and startup torque in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Engineered for 208–230 VAC scroll compressors rated 16–32 Amp RLA, this model provides controlled motor acceleration that minimizes electrical stress and mechanical wear.

By lowering starting current and torque, NuStart helps reduce nuisance breaker trips, contactor arcing, and start-up noise while supporting longer compressor life. Built-in protective features safeguard against reverse rotation and abnormal voltage conditions, making it a reliable upgrade for hard-starting systems.
