Designed for non-inverter RV ACs up to 15,000 BTU, the S15 Plus lowers the surge current at startup so air conditioners and other devices can run together on restricted electrical supplies. It works across a wide voltage range (100–240 V \/ 60 Hz), includes weatherproofing, and shows operating status via three indicator lights for easy troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the S15 Plus reduce trips and power failures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit temporarily limits the inrush current drawn by the AC compressor during startup, smoothing the voltage demand so breakers and small generators aren’t overwhelmed. That prevents the sudden load spike that commonly causes outages and allows multiple devices to operate without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLowers startup amperage by 60–75% compared with direct starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePermits two ACs to operate on a 30 A hookup when combined current under 30 A with two soft starters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with small portable generators like Honda 2200 and Westinghouse iGen2200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work with my RV’s electrical setup and air conditioner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S15 Plus is made for non-inverter RV air conditioners that need high startup amps and fits units up to 15,000 BTU.
