RSBT2216EV11 – 3 phase compressor softstarter 220V 16A
Carlo Gavazzi RSBT2216EV11 is a 220 V AC 16 A three-phase scroll compressor soft starter with a 110–400 V AC control input, auto-adaptive current limiting, internal bypass and DIN rail mounting clip.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi RSBT2216EV11 Compressor Soft Starter?
The Carlo Gavazzi RSBT2216EV11 is a compact and intelligent three-phase scroll compressor soft starter designed to reduce starting current in HVAC, refrigeration and heat pump applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi RSBT compressor soft starter series, it provides dedicated compressor starting control with three-phase switching and an internally bypassed design.
The RSBT series uses an auto-adaptive current-limiting starting principle developed specifically for scroll compressors. By controlling the compressor during start-up, the RSBT2216EV11 helps reduce electrical supply disturbances and mechanical stress compared with direct-on-line starting, while requiring minimal commissioning and adjustment.
With a rated operational current of 16 A AC and a nominal operational voltage of 220 V AC, the RSBT2216EV11 is designed for three-phase compressor systems. It accepts a broad 110–400 V AC control input and the EV11 configuration includes a DIN rail mounting clip, providing convenient installation in HVAC, refrigeration and machine control panels.

Intelligent Starting for Three-Phase Scroll Compressors
Three-phase compressors can draw substantial current during direct-on-line starting, potentially causing voltage disturbances and placing additional stress on electrical and mechanical components. The Carlo Gavazzi RSBT2216EV11 controls the starting process using an auto-adaptive current-limiting approach, helping the compressor accelerate smoothly while reducing peak starting demand.
The RSBT range is specifically developed for scroll compressor applications rather than general-purpose motor starting. Three-phase control, internal bypass functionality and a compact housing make the RSBT2216EV11 particularly suitable for OEM HVAC and refrigeration equipment, while the included DIN rail clip simplifies integration into electrical control cabinets.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase scroll compressors.
- Commercial air-conditioning systems.
- Heat pump systems.
- Commercial and industrial refrigeration.
- Chillers and process cooling equipment.
- HVAC compressor control panels.
- Building climate-control systems.
- OEM refrigeration and compressor equipment.
