Champion 3100 - running an AC - how many hrs out of a tank?
Can anyone tell me how many hours a Champion 3100 inverter generator will run on a tank while running a roof air?

Spes for the genny say 8hr at 25 percent load. Running the AC would be at full load. So assuming a 50 percent duty cycle you would get about 4 hours run time.
Starting the AC would be full surge load, but just running it once its started will be more like half load (ballpark probably 12-1600ish). Ambient outdoor temps will make a difference too with AC cycles, lot's of variables in play here. I would bet more than 4 hours, but I do bet a 7 hour claim is probably not very attainable either lol.
When running my 15k AC with two Champion 2000 watt paralleled they ran at full tilt when the AC compressor is running.
