When I start my generator, there is about a 30 second delay before it actually kicks in and provides power to the coach breakers. At that point, if my A/C is already turned on, it starts; exactly like if it was turned off and I turn it on at the thermostat. There's no difference -electrically- between turning the A/C on at the thermostat or at the breaker. The only negative that I can think of, is shutting down the generator while the A/C is on, since it doesn't instantly shut off, but rather it slows and the voltage drops. Does your EMS turn the A/C off prior to shutting down the generator? I don't think so (could be wrong).
My EMS manages the loads and prevents any damage to system. There is a 3-5 minute delay on the A/C startup.
