Hi all, Having trouble sourcing a 25amp 230v soft starter for an air source heat pump. The model is a NIBE Fighter 2005. Problem is getting one from NIBE is over £700, which is outrageous!!! I've tried everywhere I can think off that keeps them with no luck. Does anyone know of any companies that keep these sorts of parts in stock? It can be a universal part and not just a NIBE one. As I am led to believe that NIBE do not actually make them. Many thanks
Yes this is the company http://www.nibe.co.uk/Home-Owner/NIBE-Heat-Pumps/air-source-heat-pumps/air-source-product-range/ And this is the specific unit http://iframe.nibe.se/epi/spareparts/lista_alt.asp?PINBR=RES064005&datum=2006-09-15
Max running current is 8 amps! http://www.emersonclimate.com/europe/en-eu/Products/Compressors/Scroll_Compressors/Comfort/Heating/Copeland_Scroll_Heating_Compressors/Pages/Copeland_Scroll_Heating_Technical_Details.aspx?what=list&prodid=30867&bra=1&fam=17&prod=c&Ar=HP&prod_pic=1&ref=8&parent=Scroll%20Heating%20Standard%20-%20R134a&title=ZH30K4E%20-%20TFD Soft Start is not needed. I run a Daikin 16kW ASHP in our house which requires no more than a Type B 32A MCB to run the outdoor unit.
Is this the kind of thing you are looking for? Sounds like you will need make your own cabinet to house one and feed an in and out to your appliance http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/autom...rs-motor-controllers-peripherals/soft-starts/
