RSBS2332A2V23C17HP – 1PH COMP SOFTSTART 230V 32A+AUX RELAY SC-170

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi RSBS2332A2V23C17HP Compressor Soft Starter?

The Carlo Gavazzi RSBS2332A2V23C17HP is a specialised single-phase soft starter for scroll compressors designed to reduce compressor starting current and provide controlled, reliable starting in HVAC, refrigeration and heat pump applications. As part of the advanced Carlo Gavazzi RSBS third-generation compressor soft starter series, it combines intelligent starting control with integrated diagnostics and a compact DIN rail or panel-mounted design.

The RSBS2332A2V23C17HP uses an optimised control algorithm specifically developed for compressor starting, including support for demanding high-pressure starts. By controlling the compressor during start-up, the RSBS helps reduce electrical disturbances and mechanical stress compared with direct-on-line starting. This variant also includes an auxiliary alarm relay output for integration with supervisory and control systems.

With a rated operational current of 32 A, a nominal operating voltage of 230 V AC and a 230 V AC control supply, the RSBS2332A2V23C17HP is designed for single-phase compressor applications. The C17 version incorporates an internal 145–175 µF start capacitor, while the HP option provides a dedicated control algorithm for starting compressors under high-pressure conditions.

Controlled Starting for Single-Phase Compressors

Compressor soft starters such as the Carlo Gavazzi RSBS2332A2V23C17HP electronically manage the starting process instead of allowing the compressor to draw its full direct-on-line starting current immediately. This helps reduce disturbances on the electrical supply while providing a controlled acceleration profile for the compressor.

The RSBS third-generation range is specifically engineered for compressor applications rather than general-purpose motor starting. The RSBS2332A2V23C17HP combines a correctly matched internal start capacitor with an HP control algorithm for high-pressure starting conditions, making it particularly suitable for HVAC, refrigeration and heat pump systems where reliable compressor restarting is important.

Typical Applications

• Single-phase scroll compressors.
• Air-conditioning systems.
• Commercial and residential heat pumps.
• Refrigeration equipment.
• HVAC compressor control systems.
• Chillers and temperature-control equipment.
• Building services and climate-control systems.
• OEM compressor and refrigeration equipment.
