Has anyone installed one of these on their A/C. supposedly you can run your 15000 btu AC with a Honda 2000 inverter generator, or run both A/C’s on a 30 amp circuit! they are kind of pricey at $300 apiece, but if they work as advertised would be nice to have. I boondock 3 or 4 times a year in the warm weather, and use 2 Honda’s in parallel to run one A/C!

Thanks!

Does starting the A/C fan first then turning the compressor on kind of do the same thing?

If i’m careful I can run both A/C’s on 30A by doing that – with nothing else running.

But I don’t think it is a good idea and do not do this often, but have done it before.

For some reason both of my A/C’s are on one of the 30A breakers of the Genset (there are two 30A breakers), not sure why it was wired this way. I fear it is too hard on the Genset to power both A/C’s on one 30A breaker, and it does occasionally pop, so I try to avoid this. But if temperatures are too high, sometimes willing to give it a shot when off gridding it. My Genset is 6.5kw.

Anyone have advice? If the 30A breaker is holding does that mean I am good? Can you overload a Genset even though the breaker is not popping? Is this foolish to attempt? Thx
